A shared processor pool cannot be deleted. However, it can be deactivated by setting the maximum pool capacity back to 0. However, no LPARs may be assigned to the shared processor pool:
$ ms chprocpool ms11 benchmark max_pool_proc_units=0 hmc01: chhwres -r procpool -m ms11 -o s --poolname benchmark -a 'max_pool_proc_units=0' ERROR: remote HMC command returned an error (1) StdErr: HSCL3614 The shared processor pool cannot be unconfigured since at least one partition is using the shared processor pool. $
The LPARs assigned to the shared processor pool must first be reassigned to another shared processor pool.
