machinfo - wron CPU information

Hello Experts!

I have configured 3 virtual partitions on Integrity SuperdDome:
vPar1: 8 x dual core 1.6/24M
vPar2: 8 x dual core 1.6/24M
vPar3: 3 x dual core 1.6/24M

Only in case of vPar3 'machinfo' reports correct information about processors.

vPar1&vPar2:

## /usr/contrib/bin/machinfo ##
CPU info:
9 Intel(R) Itanium 2 9100 series processors (1.6 GHz, 12 MB)

All patches installed on these three vPars are the same. PHCO_36489 has been installed.

Any advice?

Re: machinfo - wron CPU information

Could you post:

#vparstatus

#parstatus -w

and with the number of partition you get in the ouput

#parstatus -V -p partitionNumber


Thnx

Re: machinfo - wron CPU information

I'm not sure where the problem is ...

Is it this?

9 Intel(R) Itanium 2 9100 series processors (1.6 GHz, 12 MB)
533 MT/s bus, CPU version A1
16 logical processors

9 vs. 16 cores?


How about

# icapstatus

# parstatus

# vparstatus -A

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: machinfo - wron CPU information

9 vs. 16 cores is the first confusion.
The second thing is processor cache memory.
Machinfo reports 1.6 GHz, 12 MB instead of 1.6 GHz, 24 MB.

Please look at the attached outputs.

All processors are assigned and active.

Re: machinfo - wron CPU information

You have to think that in 11.31 with hyperthreadind enabled, you have in each cell four sockets, 8 cores, 16 lcpus.

So it looks like in 11.31 you are adding lcpus to you vpars, not cores.

And machinfo shows cores.

But to make sense of the 9 cores output, we need a:

#parstatus

and

#icapstatus

You can't. Only a moderator can do this.

Re: machinfo - wron CPU information

I don't have access to the server at this moment.
HT is diabled.
vPar1 - 8 dual-core processors
vPar2 - 8 dual-core processors
vPar3 - 3 dual-core processors

I really would like to delete the attached file as it's not the file which I meant. Could you please help me?
