Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 4, Issue 1982

Kyle:

That box has only a small limited number of shared processor units (I 
think it's 0.22).  You can LPAR these small 520s but you must assign at 
least 0.10 processing units to each one activated.  On your 500 CPW 
machine, your maximum number of active partitions is likely two (2).

On ours, a 1,000 CPW 520, we have 4 partitions defined but only 3 
currently activated.  We have 0.43 shared processing units and our maximum 
number of defined partitions is four (4).  BTW, 2 of these partitions are 
currently i5/OS and 2 are Linux (hosted due to physical hardware 
limitations).

subject: i5 520 Governor's Effect on LPAR

I have an i5 520 500CPW development box arriving soon and I'm wondering
about possibly investigating some AIX/Linux development on it as well.  If
it were set up to have an AIX or Linux LPAR would this use the portion of
the processor not accessible to OS/400 due to the governor or would it
effectively reduce the OS/400 cpw I'd be able to use?

Thanks,
