The maximum number of processing units that you want the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile to have when you dynamically move processing units.
You cannot specify a value higher than the Maximum number of processors per partition for the managed system. The Maximum number of processors per partition is shown on the Managed System Properties - Processors page.
Each processing unit is equivalent to the processing power of one processor.
You can specify the number of processing units up to the hundredths place.
Any change you make on this page takes effect only after you shut down the logical partition and reactivate this partition profile.
