Terminology error on my part.

What I meant was:

Unlike VM, no single LPAR can have more logical CPs than there are physical 
CP's on the CEC.
So, if you have 4 GP's, no LPAR can have more than 4 CP's defined to it.
(You can, however, have RSVD CP's defined, so that you can add more LP's, if 
you dynamically add more GP's, without a POR or an IPL)

It's been awhile, but VM used to allow a guest more 'active' CP's than were 
physically installed.
This is what I meant by virtualisation of CP's.

The terminology definitions have drifted in meaning over the last 20 years.
