>No. IBM does not prevent you from defining more LP's than CP's. However the overhead becomes excessive when the LP/CP ratio exceeds (2 to 3) to 1. Actually, PR/SM does NOT allow this. If there are only two (physically) available, the max allowed for any LPAR is two. Dedicated CPs are removed from the shared pool. - Ted MacNEIL eamacn...@yahoo.ca Twitter: @TedMacNEIL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
