Hyperthreading enabled?

[Jojo Castro]

Hi all, im using HP-UX 11.23 on my RX6600 and SUPERDOME SD32B servers with MONTV_A1_1618 and MTV_A1_1618 processor respectively. HOw can i check if Hyperthreading is enabled? What is the default setting? Thanks!

I believe you need 11.31 to enable and use it.

[Jojo Castro]

Hyperthreading starts in 11.31?

[Dennis Handly]

What does "machinfo" show for your servers?

[Ganesh Balraman]

Just type
setboot

[Bhadresh]

Hi,

you can use following command:
# getconf SC_HT_ENABLED

1 indicates hyperthreading is enabled
0 indicates hyperthreading is disabled

Regards,
Bhadresh

Hi Ganesh, herewith is setboot

# setboot
Primary bootpath : 0/4/1/0.0.0.2.0
HA Alternate bootpath : 0/0/2/0
Alternate bootpath : 0/4/1/0.0.0.1.0

Autoboot is ON (enabled)

Hi Bhadesh / Emil, both commands resulted to Invalid argument

# getconf SC_HT_ENABLED
getconf SC_HT_ENABLED: Invalid argument
# getconf lcpu_attr
getconf lcpu_attr: Invalid argument

Yes, this is a v3 feature. See the white paper:

This is a Montvale processor which supports it but only on 11.31.

>Bhadresh: # getconf SC_HT_ENABLED

Doesn't seem to work on 11.23.
