Thanks Paul. Yes, the defined capacity was setup like LPAR weights, instead of MSUs. My goal is to have LPAR #1 and #4, not capped, with LPAR #2, capped. So, I am thinking of changing the defined capacities to 0, and update the initial, max and min with the current defined capacity. But, still researching it.

You can have an lpar as part of a group that is capped plus you can cap the lpar itself. I've done that before. If I read your email correctly you have a group capacity of 20 MSU which is less then the defined capacity. If that is true I find it interesting that the HMC would let you do that. My comments are based on what I understand related to group capacity stuff and defined capacity stuff. >From the help screen on the HMC: Defined capacity - The measure of processor >resource consumption for a logical partition, expressed in millions of service >units (MSU) per hour.

We have one LPAR group with all the LPAR as members, with MSU group capacity value. On each LPAR, we have LPAR initial and min/max weights. LPAR group capacity 20 MSU LPAR #1 defined capacity = 900, Initial=30, min=20, max=30 LPAR #2 defined capacity = 60, initial = 10, min = 5, max=10 LPAR #3 defined capacity = 60, initial = 10, min = 5, max=10 LPAR #4 defined capacity = 135, init = 30 Questions: 1) Does the defined capacity units = MSU or LPAR weights? 2) Is LPAR #1 definition mean 900 MSUs? And LPAR #2 with 60 MSUs? 3) What would be the capacity of LPAR #1? 4) Can LPAR #2 cause CPU issues for LPAR #1? Thanks, I thought I understood this stuff, but it would seem I don't.
