If the logical partition uses dedicated processors, these fields display the minimum number, the current number, and the maximum number of processors that are being used by the logical partition.
If the logical partition uses shared processors, these fields display the minimum number, the maximum number, and the current number of processing units that are being used by the logical partition. These fields also display the name of the shared processor pool that is used by the logical partition and the pool ID of the shared processor pool in parentheses.
If the logical partition uses shared processors, you can also see whether this is a capped or an uncapped logical partition. Uncapped logical partitions can use processing units that are not being used by other logical partitions, up to the number of virtual processors assigned to the uncapped logical partition. Capped logical partitions can use only the number of processing units that are assigned to them.
If the logical partition is uncapped, you can also see the uncapped weight of the logical partition. If multiple uncapped logical partitions require unused processing units, the uncapped weights of the uncapped logical partitions determine the ratio of unused processing units that are assigned to each logical partition. For example, an uncapped logical partition with an uncapped weight of 200 receives two processing units for every processing unit that is received by an uncapped logical partition with an uncapped weight of 100.
The minimum and maximum values are the values set in the active partition profile at the time that you used the partition profile to activate the logical partition. To change the minimum and maximum values here, you must shut down the logical partition and restart the logical partition using a partition profile with different minimum and maximum values.
