Processor group . . . . . . . . . . . :

There are some third party vendors who are willing to work with you and
others who are not.
Some will only charge you by the processor used by the lpar(s) running
their software and others will charge you for total system processors.
Some will have you bust the lpars running their software into a different
shared processor group just to ensure that usage doesn't go up and grab
additional processors from lpars not running their software. I have one
which charges you for my total system processors and by how many
processors are running IBM i, including those lpars of IBM i not running
their software.
