As usual, it depends. It depends on configurations and why you have them the 
way you do. In our environment, we want to be highly-available. To us, that is 
multiple CECs, cross-configurations, DB2 data sharing, etc. and we can lose a 
whole CEC and keep on trucking, albeit at a lower total capacity. Add in GDPS 
to a secondary data center with CBU and we are near fault tolerant!

Granted, we pay a premium for the 2nd CEC, but there are no single points of 
failure. With one CEC, there is still a remote possibility of a single point of 
failure. Remote, but possible.

I believe Robert was inquiring about the number of logical CPs defined for each LPAR on any CPC. Put another way, on any given CPC (regardless of the total number of CPCs you run), do you set the number of logical CPs for any of your LPARs equal to the number of physical CPs available?
