Processor Characteristics
Processor Page Definitions
Use the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task available from the CPC
Operational Customization tasks list to open a reset or image profile for an LP.
Open the Processor page to define the following LP characteristics:
v
Dedicated or shared general purpose CPs
v
Dedicated or shared internal coupling facility (ICF) CPs
v
Number of initial and reserved processors
v
Initial processing weight
v
Initial weight capping
v
Workload manager enablement
v
Minimum processing weight
v
Maximum processing weight
Figure 3-20. ESA Mode Logical Partition with shared Central Processors (CPs), Integrated Facilities for Applications
(IFAs) and System z9 Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs). There can be both an initial and reserved
specification for each processor type. Each processor can have it’s own processing weight(s). If WLM enablement or
Initial Capping is selected for any processor then all processors types are WLM enabled or are initially capped,
respectively. WLM enablement and Initial Capping are mutually exclusive.
