cstm & CPU

[Jacky Wing]

Hello All,

I have an RP7420 with apparently 8 CPUs.
the CPUs from the ioscan & cstm is attached. How can I know if the cpu is dual core & i have 4 CPUs instead of single core & 8 CPUs?

My understanding is that if "CPU Slot Number" - "Cell Slot Number" & "Cabinet Slot Number" are the same - means it is the same cpu.

Another question, CPUs in RP7420 are to be installed if only 2 at slot 0 & 2 ?

I also have another question:

I got 8 cpus from ioscan means I have 4 physical cpus, each is dual core?

from the cstm output you see 4 cpus/cell; what does the CPU (0A) - CPU (0B) mean? isn't 0A or 0B a slot on the cell board?

can we mix PA8800 3.1 & PA8800 3.2 together?

[Torsten.]

PA8800 and PA8900 are always dual core.

In this case, how many CPUs do I have in the system? 2 for each cell?

[Torsten.]

Yes. 2 slots on each cell occupied, 2 slots empty.
