They only matter when there is processor contention. When that happens, a "1" may be a problem, depending on what it means relative to the other LPARs. If they add up to 9 (or 3, or whatever), then it should not be an issue. But, if they add up to 999 (or 900, or whatever) then you will likely have a problem. I have found, empirically, that you need about 10% of a processor to get through an IPL. But, that was on slower processors. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
