I think you have got 'the right number'. An LPAR's Capacity is a floating value. It all depends on how you define it in the LPAR profile and how you let WLM manage it. This means that there is a value for the capacity that PR/SM will allow an LPAR to consume at any moment in time. This amount is based on processor capacity, the relative weight of the LPAR in relation to the total weights of all active LPARs and the manipulations that WLM does on these values. All these metrics can change in time and therefor an LPARs capacity changes with them.
