Use this window to view or configure the properties of a shared processor pool.
There are 64 shared processor pools for each managed system: a default shared processor pool and 63 other shared processor pools. Shared processor pools cannot be created or deleted. Before you can use a shared processor pool other than the default shared processor pool, you must configure the shared processor pool by setting the maximum processing units of the shared processor pool to a whole number greater than zero. After you configure a shared processor pool, you can set partition profiles to use that shared processor pool. When you activate a logical partition, the logical partition uses the shared processor pool from the specified partition profile.
If you no longer want to use a shared processor pool, you must first remove the logical partitions that use that shared processor pool from that shared processor pool. You can do this by moving the logical partitions to other shared processor pools or by shutting down the logical partitions. After you remove all logical partitions from the shared processor pool, you can use this window to set the maximum processing units of the shared processor pool to zero.
