The customer wants the "small" LPAR to come up on request only and we want to give the MIPS from the "small" LPAR to the one weighted at 47, i.e. raise it to 56. It sounds like the best/safest thing to do is NOT make the weight=1.
The box usually is not 100% busy, but can be depending on activity.

Hi Dave -- I suspect you wouldn't be considering this unless you were having problems with CPU resource contention in the two big LPARs (at 47 and 43). What kind of machine is this? how many engines? If this small LPAR is down, and the box is nearly 100% busy, IPLing this LPAR will be very slow, and this small LPAR may slow down the others in the sysplex and MIM. What is the real problem you are trying to solve? Al Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
