The minimum number of processing units that the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile must have to run itself and its required applications. If the managed system does not have at least the minimum number of processing units available when you activate this partition profile, then the managed system does not activate the logical partition. Also, you cannot dynamically move processing units so that the logical partition has fewer than the minimum number of processing units.
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.
