The information displayed here allows you to see the total processor utilization in all shared processor pools at the indicated date and time.
Processing units: Displays the number of processing units in all shared processor pools that were configurable for partition usage. This number includes processing units that were assigned to all partitions in shared processor pools.
Processor utilization: Displays the number of processing units that were utilized by all partitions in shared processor pools since the previous sample. The utilization expressed as a percentage of the number of configurable processing units in all shared processor pools is also displayed. The utilization can be greater than the number of configurable processing units in all shared processor pools (or 100%) if shared processor partitions are using processing cycles that belong to dedicated processor partitions.
