Table 5-1 Estimated additional VIOS CPU entitlement per shared memory LPAR
Shared memory partition
Shared memory partitions will also require additional CPU entitlement compared
to dedicated memory partitions running the same workload. The additional
amount will be dependent on the memory subscription ration (sum of logical
memory divided by physical memory in the pool) and CMM loan policy settings.
In case where memory is not over committed the additional CPU entitlement will
be minimal.
IBM Workload Estimator (IBM WLE) will be updated to produce estimated sizing
for shared memory partition CPU requirements.

5.1.6 Memory weight
The hypervisor considers several variables to allocate and manage memory
across the shared memory partitions. These variables included global and
partition load, global and partition memory pressure, and the one direct user
adjustment memory weight. Similar workloads that run concurrently require
different weights if one partition requires a priority. In an active/inactive scenario
when one shared memory partition uses most of the resources the memory
weight should be equal in both partitions to enhance memory transfer when the
inactive partition becomes active.
5.1.7 Consolidation factors
Once the workload types in a environment have been determined and selected
for consolidation additional factors must be considered:
The logical to physical subscription ratio must be suitable for the selected
workloads.
