Use this page to specify whether the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile gets its processing power from dedicated or shared processors.
Dedicated processors are whole processors that are assigned to a single logical partition.
Shared processors are physical processors whose processing capacity is shared among multiple logical partitions. The ability to divide physical processors and share them among multiple logical partitions is known as the Micro-Partitioning technology. For some server models, micro-partitioning is an option for which you must obtain and enter an activation code. If you have not yet entered this activation code for these server models, the Shared option will be unavailable.
Note: You must specify Shared processors if you want to specify shared memory for this logical partition.
