Dual-core processors have two CPUs (that is, cores) per processor. Deactivation happens on a

CPU level, but deconﬁguration happens at the socket level. If a processor’s socket is

deconﬁgured, both CPUs sharing the socket will be unavailable.

(Integrity only) If a CPU is marked for deconﬁguration using an EFI command and the

nPartition is not rebooted (for example, the vPars Monitor is immediately booted), the vPars

Monitor will not know or indicate (including with vparstatus) that the CPU has been marked

for deconﬁguration and will use the CPU like any other working CPU.
