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 6 -2

SMT enabled: Maximum number of ports = {(the number of processors + 1) / 2}

x 6 -2
Up to 4 ports in Intel 10 Gb NIC can be assigned.

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 G 2-port resources are required for one port.

FC uses one port of resources for 4 ports. When assigning FC, 1-port resource is

required for 4 ports.
The following table shows examples of I/O assignment to the number of processors.
