RE: as/400 / linux / lpar

You can do the fractional bit all over. So, with 3
processors, say, you could have a partition with 1.2,
another with 1.2, and another with .6 processors
allocated. I guess the point is you can manage these
things very finely now. Don't quite know what good it'll
do, but someone thinks it will.

I think, v5r1 and later, you can change a lot of this on
the fly. This can be pretty useful, I think. I believe
it has to be done manually, however, in OpsNav
