partition to another, Virtual LAN, and Virtual SCSI.
► Micro-partitioning: Up to 10 micro-partitions per processor.
► Multiple Shared Processor Pools: Partitions can be assigned to use specific pools.
► Virtual I/O Server: A Virtual I/O server partition can own I/O that is used by client
partitions.
► Shared Dedicated Capacity: A partition using dedicated processors can enable its
processor capacity, when not being used, for use by other processors.
