Partitions Exceeding Entitlement page in the AIX PowerVM view
The Partitions Exceeding Entitlement page in the AIX PowerVM view shows all AIX shared pool logical partitions (SPLPARs) that exceed the allocated entitlement value. If the entitlement is not capped, SPLPARs can exceed their entitlement as long as the resources are available in the pool.
The following figure shows the Partitions Exceeding Entitlement tab displaying all partitions that are exceeding their CPU Entitlement values.

Viewing the Partitions Exceeding Entitlement table
The Partitions Exceeding Entitlement table lists all PowerVM partitions exceeding their default entitlement levels.
- By default, the metric tables in this view are filtered on all domains. Use the domain filter options to select the required domain from the table.
- By default, the summarization time range for all metrics is set to Last 30 days. Use the time filter options controls to select an alternate range.
For detailed information on how to use filters, see Using filtering options in views in the TrueSight console.
Each row corresponds to a PowerVM partition and shows the following information:
PowerVM Partitions Exceeding Entitlement table: Description of columns
Column | Description | Statistical Type | Metrics |
|---|---|---|---|
Partition Name | Name of the partition. | Last value | NAME |
Host Name | Name of the frame the partition belongs to. | Last value | Host name retrieved using relationship VH_CONTAINS_GM |
CPU Entitlement | Number of CPU cores allocated to the partition expressed in terms of processors. | Last value | CPU_ENTC |
CPU Entitlement Used [%] | Percentage of CPU used by the partition, normalized by the CPU entitlement. This metric applies to SPLPARs only. | 95th Percentile | CPU_ENT_UTIL |
Pool Name | Name of the pool the partition belongs to. | Last value | Pool name retrieved using relationship RP_CONTAINS_GM |
Pool Processors | Number of processors present in the pool. | Last value | CPU_NUM of the parent pool |
Partition Pool Utilization [%] | CPU utilization of the partition normalized by the number of processors allocated to the pool. | 95th Percentile | Partition CPU_UTIL, Pool CPU_NUM |
To view the details of a partition
Click its name in the Partitions Exceeding Entitlement table. The following partition details appear:
- General details of the partition, such as name, type and tags
- Configuration data for the partition
- Analysis charts for the partition's resources, depending on available data

Using data filter and other controls in tables
You can sort and filter the information that is displayed in tables to suit your need. For instance, you can show or hide columns, filter tables on particular domains, and so on.
