VPar cpu info

[Stefano Ferri]

Hi All,

I need to known the number of cpu in use on a virtual partition. I have tried the vparstatus command, but it show only cpu min/max (see attach). How Can I known the real number of cpus in use?

Thanks,

You can check this with the command 'top'

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

It is there:

bound/unbound: 7 2

9 CPUs in use.

Hi,

The top command return 9 cpus, I have already seen this command, my question now is:

On enviroment where the cpu min is 7 and the cpu max is 14, is the number of cpus dynamic? How do the system change this configuration?

Thanks

You do this with the command vparmodify.

Which value do you want to change exactly?

[Torsten.]

On the PA-RISC version of vpars there are bound (fixed) and unbound (dynamic) CPU.

You can add dynamic CPUs until you reach the maximum.

To add a CPU, run

vparmodify -p myvPar -a cpu::1

See also the manual.

Hi,

I don't must modify the partition, my problem is that I must to inventory the cpus for this server , and my customer affirm that this server have 14 cpus...

Thanks for the answers.

In case of a cell-based server just run

parstatus

to get the total number.

For non-cellbased you see the total number in ioscan.

The total cpus as sum of cpu bound and cpu unbound.
