The other half of Steve's question requires the qualification of "usefully support". It depends on memory, the workloads running underneath it and other criteria. And, of course, *YMMV* (Your Mileage May Vary) regardless of a stated number. Now if you are talking about guests under z/VM, I'll let Dr. Boyes play with that one! :-)

As such it can be used by one or more LPARs. Within an LPAR all CPUs must be the same type; i.e. all IFLs or all general CPUs.
