Re: HMC system detection defaults to all resources

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well that's the ay it works and your BP should have known this when the 
system was being installed and properly configured it. Now if you have 
NO HMC installed then the system automatically creates a processor pool 
with just the number of processors to which you are licensed.

With no HMC and the system not flagged for partitions it does that 'all 
resources' profile by default. Your solution is correct, create a new 
profile and a proper processor pool to use with it.
