This table lists the logical partitions that currently exist on the selected managed system and the processor-availability priority for these logical partitions. To change the processor-availability priority for a logical partition, select the logical partition in this table, change the processor-availability priority setting in Availability priority, and click Apply.
This table contains the following information:
- Partition name
- This column displays the name of each logical partition on the managed system.
- Partition type
- This column displays the partition type of each logical partition on the managed system. Possible partition types are AIX or Linux, IBMi, and Virtual I/O Server.
- Processing units
- This column displays the number of processing units that are currently assigned to the logical partition.
- Mode
- This column displays the processor mode for this logical partition (Dedicated or Shared). The processor mode of each logical partition determines how the managed system acquires replacement processors from the logical partitions. The managed system acquires replacement processors from dedicated-processor partitions by shutting down those logical partitions. The managed system acquires replacement processors from shared-processor partitions by removing processors through Dynamic Logical Partitioning, and then, if necessary, by shutting down the shared-processor partitions.
- Availability priority
- This column displays the processor-availability priority that is currently assigned to each logical partition.
