|
||
|
|
<p>The number of processors you want to add to a logical partition depends
|
||
|
|
on the planned workload for the partition and the desired level of performance.
|
||
|
|
The number of partitions supported depends on the number of processors in
|
||
|
|
the server model. If you are running release V5R1 or later, the 820, 830,
|
||
|
|
and 840 models can have up to 32 logical partitions using the shared processor
|
||
|
|
pool. The 820, 830, and 840 models are also designed to have up to 24 logical
|
||
|
|
partitions using dedicated processors. The 890 model supports up to 32 logical
|
||
|
|
partitions using dedicated processors.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For estimation purposes, approximately each processor of a server offers
|
||
|
|
1/(total number of processors on the server) of the total Commercial Processing
|
||
|
|
Workload (CPW) performance available through that processor feature.</p>
