Move Processor Resources

Use this window to move processor resources from the selected logical partition to another logical partition without restarting either logical partition.

You can move processors or processing units dynamically between logical partitions if the following conditions are met:

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