Use the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task to open a reset or image profile for an
LP. Open the Processor page to define the following LP characteristics:
Dedicated or shared general purpose CPs and Dedicated or shared internal coupling facility (ICF)
CPs. See Table 1.
Number of initial and reserved processors (number of
processors is the number of cores when a logical partition uses SMT)
Initial processing weight
Initial weight capping
Workload manager enablement
Minimum processing weight
Maximum processing weight
Absolute capping
Figure 1. General mode logical partition with shared CPs and zIIPs. There can be both an initial and reserved specification for each processor type. Each
processor can have its own processing weight(s). If WLM is enabled, it is enabled for the entire
partition. If WLM is not enabled for the partition, you may specify initial capping for the various
processor types defined for the partition, but you do not have to set it the same for all the
processor types; they can be set independently. For example, you can specify initial capping on for
zIIPs but not for CPs in that same partition. WLM enablement and initial capping are mutually
exclusive.
Figure 2. Customization for a Linux-only mode logical partition with shared Integrated Facilities for
Linux® (IFLs). There can be both an initial and reserved
specification for the IFLs.
Figure 3. Customization for a coupling facility mode logical partition with shared central processors.
There can be both an initial and reserved specification for the Central Processors.
