Chapter 5. A real-life practical example of LPAR configuration 31
page 34. Because we intend in this example to illustrate both iSeries and System
i methodologies, we list both iSeries-centric metrics (including interactive
performance percentage) and System i-centric ones (including desired
amounts).
5.3.1 For an iSeries system
There are four metrics to specify for iSeries systems: processor power, virtual
processors, interactive performance, and memory. For each metric, there are
two parameters: a minimum amount and a maximum amount.
Because there is no penalty for setting processor limits as wide as there is
hardware capability for every par ...
