All LPARs also have to 'want' CPU. If one is coasting and the other wants more, it will get it (unless capped). EG: Weights: LPARA -- 650 LPARB -- 350 Off shift LPARA is nearly idle Processor usage 100% >From real life: Usage: LPARA -- 30% LPARB -- 69% PHYSICAL -- 1% Weights only take effect if there is processor contention (at 100%). - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
