shared processor

Shared Processor pools: This feature allows virtual partitions to reach into a shared pool to gain more resources as the demand increases.

The concept is very similar to that of the shared processor pool and micro-partitions.

At the time of this writing, multiple shared-processor pools were still being tested in the lab at UPMC.

I love this tool as it allows me to quickly review and report on shared processor pool usage across several systems.

Therefore, when UPMC does implement multiple shared-processor pools, it will be integrated into a live production environment.

A physical processor shared across more than one logical partition is called a shared processor.

In other words, only a partial physical processor is allocated to a logical partition in shared processor mode.

When I considered how I had previously been monitoring and reporting on my shared processor pool, this was a breath of fresh air.

This allows you to deliver increased capacity from the shared processor pools.

This feature allows partitions that have dedicated processors to contribute towards the shared processor pools.

The lpar2rrd tool is capable of collecting historical CPU utilization data for shared processor partitions and systems.

This increases optimization of physical resources similar to how CPUs are shared with Shared Processor logical partitions.

For CPUs, it provides the functionality to share resources across multiple operating systems from shared processor pools.

When demand is light, shared partitions give-back to the shared processor community.

The physical processor set is called the shared processor pool.

These partitions are called shared processor partitions.

This page displays the shared processor pool usage for 570-1 over the last day, week, month and year.

The data is processed and graphs are generated for shared processor usage for each LPAR and the shared processor pools.

We also use it to monitor and report on individual LPAR (shared) processor usage.

It is intended for use with HMC attached, micro-partitioned systems with shared processor pools.

The lparstat command is a relatively new command that is typically used to assist in shared processor partitioned environments.

In my environment, we have four IBM POWER6 shared processor pools that need to be monitored.

Consider Figure 1 as an example of an environment using the shared processor pool.

Version 2 has many new features such as support for multiple shared processor pools, not to mention an improved Web front-end.

There is no support for features such as uncapped partitions or shared processor pools.

All of UPMC's CPUs are in shared-processor pools.
