Herbie, I monitor IBM-MAIN via the web interface and I haven't seen your post yet. Maybe it was rejected due to the images you attached (deleted from my response). To answer your question...
The weights are normalized to 100%. So 33, is the same as 333 if using 1000 as the total instead of 100. It is common to use 1000 since it allows more granularity. However, in the screen shots you attached, the total of the weights is 1200 (well, 1199). So 200 /1200 is 16%, which is still less than the max of 33% of the box if you have one engine defined (which means it is achievable). The production LPAR has 84%. So it better have 3 enginges defined to it. If it only had 2, it could only get up to 66% of the total capacity of the box - even if the test lpar was only using 1%.

AS will Richard well know.... On the Customize Activation Profiles it allows you to go to 999 ? what on earth for if what you say is true about the 33. AS you can see, we run our dev/prod with 999 / 200, I suppose 9,99 / 2 ?
