I am querying the HMC via commands to get the memory and cpu of the logical partitions.I am using the command lssyscfg.For many lpars which are in Running or Not Activated status,the command returns null for desired_procs and desired_mem.But i am unable to create a lpar with null desired_procs=null and/or desired_mem=null .How did the lpars get desired_mem and desired_procs as null ?
Power 7/8 - LPAR has null desired_proc and desired_mem

The only places I see this are in profiles where all_resources=1, which makes sense for full-system LPARs. That's why the lssyscfg command return NULL values for those properties.
