It really depends on whether or not the defined capacity actually kicks in
and begins to limit the LPAR with a soft-cap. If the 4 hour average goes
above 4 MSUs the cap will be enforced. You can have much larger peaks
without the cap, it depends on the duration of the peaks.
The real question is how many MSUs is that LPAR using on a regular and on a
4 hour rolling average basis.
When the soft cap is on, the system will run as if it was out of CPU
resource. Your WLM will determine which service classes are impacted based
on your goals.
Best regards,
