Partition Availability Priority

Use this task to specify the partition-availability priority of each logical partition on this managed system.

The managed system uses partition-availability priorities in the case of processor failure. If a processor fails on a logical partition, and there are no unassigned processors available on the managed system, the logical partition can acquire a replacement processor from logical partitions with a lower partition-availability priority. This allows the logical partition with the higher partition-availability priority to continue running after a processor failure.

You can change the partition availability priority for a partition by selecting a partition and choosing an availability priority from those listed.
