Indicates whether the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile uses processors from a shared processor pool or whether the logical partition uses its own dedicated processors. (The feature that allows a logical partition to use processing units from a shared processor pool is known as micro-partitioning.)
For some server models, micro-partitioning is an option for which you must obtain and enter an activation code. If you have not yet entered this activation code for these server models, the Shared option and the other options related to micro-partitioning will be unavailable.
Any change you make on this page takes effect only after you shut down the logical partition and reactivate this partition profile.
