Configuring AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 on POWER5™ and POWER6® (Micro-Partitioning)

To configure AIX® Micro-Partitioning® in shared and uncapped mode to work with WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise, you must enable performance collection in the Hardware management console (HMC). You must enable this setting so that WebSphere Virtual Enterprise can recognize more than the entitled capacity for a logical partition (LPAR).

Before you begin

If you do not configure this setting in your HMC, but you are using AIX micro-partitioning in shared and uncapped mode, the following message displays in your system out log of the node agent process:
ASPS0023W: The logical partition on which this node resides has a mode of shared, 
a type of uncapped, but performance collection is not enabled.
You must enable this setting so that WebSphere Virtual Enterprise can recognize more than the entitled capacity for a logical partition (LPAR).
