be dedicated to that logical partition if it is used used for
primary production workload.
If internal coupling facility processors are supported by and installed
in the CPC, select Dedicated and not dedicated internal coupling
facility processors and not dedicated central processors if you want
to assign a combination of dedicated internal coupling facility
processors and not dedicated internal coupling facility processors to
the logical partition.
Initial processing weight
Enter a value between 1–999 to set the processing weight for the
type of processor for an LP. The default value is 10.
Initial capping
Select this option to cap the CP resources for the type of processor
for an LP. Capping has no effect on LPs with dedicated CPs.
Enable WorkLoad Manager
Select this option so that CPU and I/O resources can be managed
by WLM using IRD clustering technology.
Minimum processing weight
Select this option to establish a minimum processing weight that
WLM will allocate to the LP. Do not specify a value here unless you
determine a true need for it in your configuration. Specifying a value
here can needlessly constrain what WLM can do to optimize the
management of your workload.
Maximum processing weight
Select this option to establish a maximum processing weight that
WLM will allocate to this LP. Do not specify a value here unless you
determine a true need for it in your configuration. Specifying a value
here can needlessly constrain what WLM can do to optimize the
management of your workload.
