The minimum number of virtual processors that the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile can have. You cannot dynamically change the virtual processor amount for this logical partition to be lower than the minimum virtual processor amount. You can change the virtual processor amount to a lower number only by changing the minimum virtual processor amount in the partition profile properties and reactivating the partition profile.
The minimum number of virtual processors must be equal to or greater than the minimum number of processing units (rounded up to the next whole number).
Any change you make on this page takes effect only after you shut down the logical partition and reactivate this partition profile.
