Kirk,
by deconfiguring cores you ask the factory to turn off some cores to lower your PowerVM licensing and AIX or IBM i when you have single LPAR configuration.
You can power off the system, get into the ASMI and activate those cores, and then on again; but you'll need additional PowerVM licenses and, when required, additional OS licenses.
When you have a single LPAR IBM i system I think (sorry, can't remember), and as long as you have an "all resources" LPAR, you must see all cores (prepare your OS keys). If this doesn't work out, just create a new LPAR with all resources so you can reflect changes.

DrFranken and other hardware Guru's...
I saw a 4core Power7 the other day with IBMi only on it. When looking at
Failed and Non-Reporting Hardware screen it is reporting cores 2-4 as
failed. I know at one time in the AIX world you could by from IBM a machine
with x number cores deconfigured. This was done to less than handle less
than whole machine licensing in the AIX world as their licensing is as
robust as IBMi. How does/would IBMi see these deconfigured cores?
Thanks in advance
