If I have a CEC with 4 GP CPUs and 2 LPARS, LPAR1 has 4 non-dedicated initial CPs and LPAR2 has 2 non-dedicated initial CPs, is not PRSM/LPAR virtualizing CPs, since there 6 logical CPs, but only 4 physical CPs? Curiosity of course, since I don't use VM.
The difference is that z/VM will dispatch more virtual CPs _for one guest_ than are available to z/VM or even on the box. For example, you could have two CPs available to z/VM and define a guest with four virtual CPs. z/VM will dispatch all four of the guest's virtual CPs using only the two CPs available to it.
You can't do that with PR/SM.
