Aix - Logical Partitioning - Memory and Processor Resource Assignment

When you create a partition profile for a logical partition, you set up the desired,minimum, and maximum amounts of memory and processor resources that you want for the logical partition. (Where applicable, this also applies to 5250 CPW.)The desired value is the resource amount that the logical partition gets if you do not over commit the resource on the managed system. If the desired amount of resources is available when you activate the partition profile, then the logical partition starts with the desired amount of resources. However, if the desired amount of resources is not available when you activate the partition profile, then the resources on your managed system are over committed. In that case, if the amount of resources that are available on the managed system is equal to or greater than the minimum amount of resources in the partition profile, then the logical partition starts with the available amount of resources. If the minimum amount of resources is not met, then the logical partition does not start.
