Also beware of a non-dedicated processer for the CF LPAR. This does many poor things to performance. Also, last I heard the Rule of Thumb (ROT ) for logical to physical processors was between 2 and 3 logical to one physical.
<snip> Beware of defining too many LPARs on a single physical CP, by creating an IMS LPAR, possibly a CF LPAR etc. ROT for the number of physical vs. logical processors is about 1:5. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
