Default Shared Processor Pool

The default shared processor pool has the same attributes as a user-defined pool, but these attributes have fixed values and are not directly under the control of the system administrator. The maximum pool capacity is equal to all capacity in the physical shared processor pool and the reserved pool capacity is 0.

The maximum capacity of the default pool can change indirectly through system administrator actions such as powering on a dedicated processor partition, or dynamically moving physical processors in or out of the physical shared processor pool.
