LP2 has six shared (SHR) logical CPs and two reserved CPs defined.
Logical partition LP3 is defined with one shared logical CP, but is not activated.

After the upgrade, including two IFL processors, the partition LP3 is redefined to have two
dedicated logical IFLs. The I/O definitions for this logical partition can be dynamically done by
LP1 or LP2, if any of them has the Dynamic I/O Configuration OS support. Then partition LP3
can be activated and use the IFL processors. By using a previously defined logical partition,
this upgrade is non-disruptive.

Dedicated, shared partitions, and ICF upgrade

Figure 8-15 shows a 2084-B16 software model 309 with one Internal Coupling Facility (ICF).
This example is similar to the previous one, but now includes a Coupling Facility (CF)
partition.

Figure 8-15 Dedicated, shared logical partitions and ICF upgrade example

This two-book server configuration has nine CPs, one ICF and six spare PUs. The concurrent
hardware upgrade adds one more ICF processor, using one available spare PU on the
installed books.

There are three activated logical partitions: LP1 has three dedicated (DED) logical CPs and
two reserved CPs defined, LP2 has six shared (SHR) logical CPs and two reserved CPs
defined, and LP3 is a CF partition with one dedicated (DED) ICF and one reserved ICF
defined.
