Pat, The reason we usually have this is:
1. for a "basic mode" system, the "N" PCPs are those that are physically installed in the CEC but have not been purchased for use from IBM, but are available dynamically from IBM should we decide to pay for them. then we'd get an upgrade in place via a simple microcode load, no IPL required, and voila - more capacity is online and in use 2. for an "lpar" system, all the reserved LCPs report this, up to the max installable capacity of the CEC or the max number of reserved LCPs in the image profile.

All I see is a reason of 'not available', not terribly helpful as to what this actually means. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
