Hi GSG,
Simply, if you dedicate some CP to a busy lpar, it can improve performance - if that is what the lpar needs. If you dedicate all that a lpar is likely to use at peak untilitzation, cp reaources are wasted when the lpar is not so busy. Many shops use a mix of shared and dedicated cp based on the needs and priorities of their specific workloads and hardware configurations . Before changing cp assignments, be sure that is what needs to be done.

Is there any advantages/disadvantages to dedicating some to specific LPARs and shared for others?
