CPU busy reported on Itanium system?

Mott Given — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 15:49:30 GMT

Are there any bugs in the value of CPU busy reported on Itanium systems running HP-UX v11.23?
I am getting some incorrect CPU busy results which are either an error in the way that HP reports them or an error in the way that a 3rd party product from BMC reports them.

CPU busy? From top, or sar, or Glance? How do you know that the values are incorrect?

The discrepancy was between two software packages from BMC: Visualizer and Patrol for UNIX Perform/Predict.

I've always relied up 'sar -uM 5 5'. Cross reference with BMC and if different then BMC has a bug.

I have several Itanium 11.23 servers. rx2600, rx4640, rx3410. Sar works as does glance.
