The number of processors that you want the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile to use when you activate this partition profile. If the managed system has at least the desired number of processors available when you activate this partition profile, then the managed system commits the desired number of processors to the logical partition. If the desired number of processors is not available, but at least the minimum number of processors is available, then the managed system activates the logical partition with the processors it has.
Any change you make on this page takes effect only after you shut down the logical partition and reactivate this partition profile.
