6.8.5.2 LPAR Level Analysis

Before tracking utilization at the individual logical
partition level, the most important item that determines
the strategy used in measuring CPU time used is the logical
processor configuration.  Because LPAR measurements may be
distributed across several processor pools' sets of CA MICS
data elements, you need to know the types of resources an
LPAR may consume: standard CP, special purpose (ICF, IFL,
zAAP, zIIP), or both.

The way an LPAR is configured, along with its PR/SM mode of
operation, defines its type, which can be either general
purpose or special purpose.  The following table provides you
with all possible LPAR configurations, and the last column
(LPAR Type) helps you find information in the rest of
this chapter:
