Multiple dedicated PR/SM partitions

Configurations in which all PR/SM partitions use dedicated CPs, where there is more than one dedicated partition, also support concurrent CP upgrade. CPs are added to the configuration, without disruption to any of the partitions, and can be brought online to a dedicated partition without an interruption. In the following example, all ICFs in the configuration are dedicated. The partition (ICF 1) is defined for the ability to be upgraded dynamically. To prepare for this ability, simply define ICF 1 as a two-way dedicated partition with one initial and one reserved logical core (see Figure 1 for a similar example). At the time of the concurrent CP upgrade, the CF operator command can be used in the ICF 1 dedicated partition to configure a second ICF processors online to the dedicated partition without interruption to any logical partition.
