Re: Differences between Share/dedicate CPU

Not clear what you want to do. Assuming each LPAR can use all of the
CPU's, then each LPAR can use 479 MSU's, (just not all at once). 

You can influence how WLM prioritizes each LPAR with the weights (on
HMC) and with importance settings (within WLM policies). 

You can constrain a given LPAR by using with the 'soft cap' (based on a
rolling four hour average), 'hard cap' on the HMC, or reducing the
allocated CPU's on the HMC. 

Anything sound like what you want to do?

Subject: Differences between Share/dedicate CPU

hi all,
I have a query on CPU msu allocation based on share/dedicate CPU. For z9
2094-707, there are 7 CPUs on board. If we have 6 LPARS and all CPU are
share. How to assign the actual MSU for each LPAR.
To my understanding, 2094-707 has 479msu, if we just online 5 CPUs
(shared
mode) and can we have 2094-705 363 msu or (479/7)*2 = 342 msu

* assume all CPU are shared instead of dedicate mode

any comment will be appreciated

Many thanks

tommy
