Is it possible to mix shared and dedicated CPs on the same LPAR?

I thought it wasn't, but a note on the RMF partition data report implies it is;

On WGT
Either the partition's current weighting of the shared processor resources or 
one of the following indicators:
DED
Indicates that the partition is dedicated.
DMX
Indicates that a mix of dedicated and non-dedicated processors is used in this 
partition.
WMX
Indicates that different share values are assigned to logical processors used 
in this partition

Does anyone run mixed like this, a dedicated number to cover the minimum 
expected MSU of an LPAR, then some logicals to float between LPARS?
Does anyone know what is needed in terms of outages/lpar resets to move from a 
completely logical CP environment to a mixed environment?

Thanks, Joe
