For this example, winona1 will have two bound CPUs, winona2 will have
two bound CPUs where the hardware paths will be 41 and 45, and
winona3 will have one bound CPU.
Unbound CPUs are assigned in quantity. We have three CPUs that were
not assigned to any of the virtual partitions, so we will have three
unbound CPUs available.
Memory
For detailed information on memory allocation, please read “Memory
Allocation” on page 50.
In this example, we will use the following sizes:
I/O
For detailed information on I/O Assignments, see “I/O Allocation” on
page 51.
For simplified I/O block diagrams of the LBA to physical slot
relationship, see Appendix A, “LBA Hardware Path to Physical I/O Slot
Correspondence,” on page 157.
