Efficient LPAR Defined Capacity

Defined Capacity is a user-defined value that determines the size of a logical partition (LPAR). It is set based on millions of service units per hour (MSU/hr). With Variable Workload License Charges (VWLC), when the four-hour rolling average exceeds this value, WLM will soft cap the LPAR.

To monitor Defined Capacity usage, these questions and views can help.
