cpu_deallocate logical_cpu_number

those are the numbers bindprocessor -q gives out, normally sequentially
numbered

to check disabling:
lsattr -El procxx

xx is *not* this logical number, but what you see in the "xx+1-th" line
of lsdev -Cc processor output

on my 16-cpu p670 I have 0-15 as logical numbers and proc
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,16,17,..,23 ; dunno why

What's the syntax of cpu_deallocate then once the command runs how would
you know it's disabled?

Hello,

I tried to turn off processors with cpu_deallocate. It does not work and
I found out I probably have to enable cpu guard ( chdev -l sys0
cpuguard=enable ).

Its disabled by default. I fail to see why.

What is the disadvantage; why should one not want to use this feature?

Regards,

Holger
