Re: Msg: IBM i usage limit exceeded - operator action required (CPF9E7F)

It’s a cumulative number. If you have 3 partitions each using 1.33 cores then your total would be 3.99 cores, or one partition using 4 cores, then No message.

In your case I’m betting the system was preloaded by IBM so the partition uses all the system resources, which in my view is ordinarily bad practice. The exception being a single partition 4core system.

Thanks Rob. Is this msg based on licensing for each individual partition or the base/host license?

Cause . . . . . : The processor usage limit of 4 processors for product
5770SS1, license term V7, feature 5051 has been exceeded.
-- Current processor usage across all active IBM i partitions is
16.00.
-- Current processor usage for the local partition is 1.00.

What does is mean? Is it a configuration or a licensing issue or both?
