It is seem by the Linux partition but it is in a stopped state. How do I switch it on for use by the Linux partition, what is the command syntax.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />Randy Tue, 11 Jun 2002 18:59:30 GMT Randy_9 2002-06-11T18:59:30Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/add-a-cpu/m-p/2742381#M1779 Question:<BR />We are running a virtual partition of SUSE Linux on a mainframe, the mainframe admin assigned/defined a 3rd CPU to this partition.
