The PA-8800s are dual-core sockets: they have two CPUs per socket. Deactivation happens on a
processor level, but deconfiguration happens at the socket level. If a socket is deconfigured,
both processors 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.
