I don't really have a problem but am curious to know why i'd have entitled capacity over 100% -and- idle cycles on a micropartitioned LPAR:
server: 9117-MMA

System configuration: lcpu=4 ent=1.10 mode=Uncapped

14:51:54 42 48 1 9 1.18 107.2

14:53:46 30 48 2 20 1.00 90.9
14:53:48 19 66 1 14 1.20 108.8
14:53:50 25 61 1 14 1.21 109.8
14:53:53 20 65 0 15 1.17 106.8
14:53:55 18 66 0 16 1.10 100.2
14:53:57 49 42 0 9 1.58 143.9
14:53:59 24 59 1 17 1.04 94.7
14:54:01 23 63 1 13 1.27 115.3
14:54:03 31 63 0 5 1.84 167.0
14:54:05 22 66 1 11 1.39 126.6
14:54:07 20 64 1 15 1.15 104.6
14:54:09 19 61 3 17 1.04 94.7
I suspect this is simply due to a timing issue where maybe the hypervisor hasn't released the cpu slice back to the pool but the LPAR at a point in time no longer requires it?
