You can enable or disable SMT by running the smtctl command.

smtctl [ -m off | on [ -w boot | now]]
 
The following options are available:
 
-m off
    Sets SMT mode to disabled. 
-m on
    Sets SMT mode to enabled. 
-w boot
    Makes the SMT mode change effective on next and subsequent restarts if you run the bosboot command before the next system restart. 
-w now
    Makes the SMT mode change immediately but the change does not persist across restart. 

If neither the -w boot or the -w now options are specified, the mode change is made immediately. It persists across subsequent restarts if you run the bosboot command before the next system restart.

Setting this tunable to a value greater than -1 will enable the scheduler to enable and disable virtual processors based on the partition's CPU utilization.

If vpm_xvcpus is greater than or equal to zero, processor folding is enabled. Otherwise, if it is equal to -1, folding is disabled

Use below command to enable folding:

schedo -o vpm_xvcpus=0
//Setting vpm_xvcpus to 0
 
schedo -L vpm_xvcpus
 
schedo -o vpm_fold_policy=0
schedo -L vpm_fold_policy

Note: By default processor folding enabled in AIX
