It will be an "it depends" answer. First, have you searched the internet or www.ibm.com for documents? I did a quick sesarch with IBM LPAR CAPPING. And I came up with a few hits. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246327.html http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/capacity-management-analytics-zos
What are you working towards? MSLU, Keeping software costs down, PSLU, SCRT, penalty box? You cap a processor because you want to contain a "function". Do you want hard cap or soft cap? Are there certain times you want to cap over others? Are you using WLM? Do you have a charge back system? Do you have software you need to keep at a certain MIPs level? Is one LPAR causing issues for the other LPAR?
