My understanding is that when a system is using dynamic LPAR allocation, a
maximum defined capacity for a given LPAR can be set, something less than
the CEC capacity. Anyone know where that's defined (what control block)?
That is, given three LPARs on a 1000 MSU box, each might be allowed a
maximum of 800 MSUs. RCTLACS, RCTIMGW, and friends in IRARCT don't seem to
show the maximum: I've seen RCTLACS vary when examined five minutes apart.


SMF70MSU in ERBSMF70 is defined as:
Defined capacity limit (in millions of service units) that a logical
partition may consume per unit time on average

...so it's out there somewhere!

I've spent some time searching for MSUs, "defined capacity", "workload
units", and even "millions", and I don't see it.  I know about SYSEVENT
REQLPDAT, but am trying to make this simple for a user -- "run this Rexx
snippet and tell me the current, max, and CEC capacity".
