Add/Remove Processor Resources

Use this window to add processor resources to or remove processor resources from the selected logical partition without restarting the logical partition.

When you add processors or processing units to a logical partition dynamically, you must meet the following conditions:

• The number of processors or processing units that you add must be less than or equal to the available number of processors or processing units.
• The number of processors or processing units that the logical partition will have must be less than or equal to the maximum number of processors or processing units set for the logical partition.
• If the logical partition uses shared processors, the number of virtual processors that the logical partition will have must be equal to or greater than the number of processing units that the logical partition will have, and less than or equal to the maximum number of virtual processors set for the logical partition.
