Number of CPU under HP-UX?

Romaric Guilloud — Wed, 08 Oct 2003 09:31:36 GMT

How to retrieve the number of CPU(s) under HP-UX with a simple piece of script or under the command line interface:
I didn't find it with getconf, top -d 1 ,etc..., so if somebody has an easy way to get this info...
Thanks in advance for your help.
Romaric.

Try this:

# ioscan -kfnC processor | grep processor | wc -l

That should give you the numnber of CPUs on your machine.

This is what I use:
sar -Mu 1 1 | awk 'END {print NR-5}'

Script:

CPU=$(ioscan | grep -i processor | wc -l)

echo "CPUS: $CPU"

Solution.

#grep processor /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

#ioscan -fnC processor

But when u issue #top
it will automatically show on the top the CPU list , before the precesses statistics.
Here is my #top
Wed Oct 8 20:09:29 2003
Load averages: 0.02, 0.01, 0.01
93 processes: 84 sleeping, 9 running
Cpu states:
CPU LOAD USER NICE SYS IDLE BLOCK SWAIT INTR SSYS
0 0.04 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
1 0.00 0.0% 0.0% 0.4% 99.6% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
--- ---- -2.2% 0.0% 0.0% 97.8-
avg 0.02 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
1.2% 0.0% 0.2% 98.6

Can you see under CPU coloumn the 0,1 i.e with a 2 CPU output of TOP.

try this:

ioscan -fk |grep -c processor

this should output the number of cpus.

The "sar" and the "ioscan" options give different answers on my system - 4 and 6 respectively.
"glance" shows 4 "Active CPUs:"
"top" thinks so too.
What are the other 2 doing ?

Graham,
What system are you running?

Romaric,

I am not quite sure, but your additional 2 CPUs in ioscan could be iCOD CPUs, which are there but deconfigured, i.e. inactive.

Regards,
Bernhard

Easier ways would be

#echo "processor_count/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

#cat /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log|grep processor|wc -l
