The relation between the number of processors assigned to an LPAR and the

maximum number of ports to be assigned to the LPAR is shown below.
SMT disabled: Maximum number of ports = the number of processors x 2 + 4

SMT enabled: Maximum number of ports = {(the number of processors + 1) / 2}

x 2 + 4
Intel 10 Gb NIC uses 3 ports of resources for a port. When assigning Intel 10 Gb NIC,

3-port resources are required for one port.
Emulex 10 Gb NIC uses 4 ports of resources for a port. When assigning Emulex 10

Gb NIC, 4-port resources are required for one port.
The following table shows examples of I/O assignment to the number of processors.
