CPU
CPU migration refers to adding CPUs to and deleting CPUs from a virtual partition. Dynamic CPU
migration refers to migrating CPUs while the target virtual partition is running. vPars allows the
assignment of most CPUs while the virtual partitions are running.
For vPars A.03 and earlier, the two types of CPUs are bound and unbound (floater) CPUs. This
discussion begins at “CPU: Bound and Unbound” on page 210.
NOTE Using vPars A.03.xx and earlier syntax on a vPars A.04.xx system
Although not recommended under most circumstances, you can still use the vPars A.03.xx
CPU syntax on vPars A.04.xx systems. However, the concepts and rules of boot processors and
dynamic CPUs in A.04.xx will apply because the concepts and rules of bound and unbound
CPUs in A.03.xx no longer apply.
