RE: Processor utilization during an IPL...

Gee, can you run your period end in restricted state to get a faster time?

You have the model with a CPW of 500.  Our system has 1000 CPW and has .43
of a system.

It does seem that when you are doing "restricted state" items, that it 
gets
100% of the CPU.  We have seen evidence of this when loading LIC and 
during
SAVSYS and SAVLIB *NONSYS.

We have a small i5/520, single processor system no LPAR. I noticed that 
our
"Current processor capacity" is only 22%. (See Below)

My question... Is the processing governor only in force when the system is
up and running or is it in force DURING an IPL too?

                          Work with System Activity                   S17

                                                            12/27/04
13:39:13
Automatic refresh in seconds  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .     5

Elapsed time . . . . . . :   00:00:02    Overall CPU util . . . . :    .6

Overall DB CPU util  . . . :      .0

Current processing capacity:      .22


I'm just curious to know if the IPL process has access to the entire 
Power5
processor or just 22% of it....
