Everything about Micro-Partitioning

Micro-Partitioning, also known as shared processor partitioning, is a form of logical partitioning which was introduced by IBM on systems using the POWER5 processor. It only differs from a dedicated processor partition in the way CPU utilization is configured and managed by the POWER Hypervisor (PHYP) firmware. All IBM POWER5 and POWER6 systems are partitioned and will run "on top" of the PHYP. Wikipedia →
