    • Defined capacity
    • Workload Manager enablement
    • Initial processing weight
    • Minimum processing weight
    • Maximum processing weight
    • Current capping
    • Initial capping
    • Absolute capping
    • Number of Dedicated Processors
    • Number of Not dedicated Processors
    • Processor running time (globally applicable to logical cores of all shared LPs)
    • Global enablement of event-driven dispatching
  • Using the Change Logical Partition Input/Output (I/O) Priority Queuing Controls task, you can change the following LP definitions:
    • Minimum input/output (I/O) priority
    • Maximum input/output (I/O) priority
  • Using the Change Logical Partition Security task, you can change the following LP definitions:
    • Performance data control
    • Input/Output configuration control
    • Cross partition authority
    • BCPii permissions
    • Partition isolation
    • Basic counter
    • Problem state counter set authorization control
    • Extended counter set authorization control
    • Crypto activity counter set authorization control
    • Extended counter set authorization control
    • Basic sampling authorization control
    • Diagnostic sampling authorization control
    • CPACF key management operations
  • Using the Logical Processor Add task, you can do the following:
    • Increase the number of reserved CPs for a processor type
    • Add a new processor type not yet in use for that partition
    • Increase the number of initial CPs for a processor type
    • Change the running system or save the changes to profiles.
  • Using the Change LPAR Cryptographic Controls task, you can:
    • Add unassigned crypto(s) and domain(s) to a logical partition for the first time. (Update the Candidate list and Online List)
    • Edit assigned crypto(s) and domain(s) types to a logical partition already using cryptos and domains (Update the Candidate list and Online List)
    • Remove crypto(s) and domain(s) from a logical partition.
    • Zeroize or clear the cryptographic secure keys for a given usage domain in a partition.
