    What do the different DCaps values mean?

    If I run lspartition -dlpar on a HMC it will show in my case that the DCaps for some partitions is 0x3f and for others it is 0x2f.

    I've found the following table which shows that DCaps maps out to hex with these bit values:

    0 - DR CPU capable (can move CPUs)
    1 - DR MEM capable (can move memory)
    2 - DR I/O capable (can move I/O resources)
    3 - DR PCI Bridge (can move PCI bridges)
    4 - DR Entitlement (POWER 5 can change shared entitlement)
    5 - Multiple DR CPU (AIX 5.3 can move 2+ CPUs at once)

    What do my examples, 0x3f and 0x2f mean?

    You've probably already guessed that I'm checking that my lpars are DLPAR capable. It seems that they are, but I'd like to understand what 'my' values are.

    Thanks in advance.
