Re: cpw in a lpar system

Jim,

I'm not sure if I follow the issue completely.  You do assign interactive
feature to a partition but it is limited to the number of processors that
you assign to that partition.  The system as a whole has 100 percent
available, and partitions can be assigned a certain percentage of the
whole, within limits bound by the number of processors assigned as well.
For example, if a partition is  assigned only 1 processor out of 12, it is
not possible for it to achieve 98 percent of the total system interactive
feature.  So, my guess is that your programmer partition can only have so
much of the interactive feature because it only has so much of the
processors......So if you assign 25% of your total system to that partition
you can only assign 25% of the interactive feature.....

Geesh, hope I'm making sense.....

How does one relate cpw on a single processor lpar system (820-2435)?
Our development lpar gets hit often with the interactive tax, yet
the machine has a 1523 interactive feature (120 cpw). Yet 6 developers
are constantly triggering the interactive governor.
