Abstract
A method, program product, and system is provided for dynamic virtual processor management in a computer having a plurality of concurrent multi-threaded physical processors. An active logical partition is assigned to one of a plurality of shared processor pools, each shared processor pool having a virtual processor manager mode. A target performance metric for a workload in the active logical partition is compared to a calculated CPU utilization ratio or a calculated response time ratio. The workload in the active logical partition is dynamically moved from the assigned shared processor pool to a logical partition in another of the plurality of shared processor pools based on the target performance metric not being met in the active logical partition, and wherein the logical partition in another of the plurality of shared processor pools is configured to meet the target performance metric.
