How do you know if a CPU is dual processor

[John Jimenez]

This command below I found from a response in 2005 gives back good info (can't believe the guy did not give any points). It shows the Processor Chip revision. Is that how we can tell?

echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | cstm | grep Processor

[skt_skt]

# echo "sel dev all;info;wait;il"|cstm
...
...


FRU INFORMATION

Module Revision
------ --------
PA 8900 CPU Module 3.2
PA 8900 CPU Module 3.2

...


In this example you see PA8900 CPU modules. Maybe you have PA8800 - both are always dual core.

I did the
echo "sel dev all;info;wait;il"|cstm
on one of our RP7410 and another RP7420 and got tons of info back. None of the output looked like your posting.

Hi James I have Several RP7420's and RP7410. I went to the link and it said to do "machinfo", but that is not a valid command

Hi John,

see

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00337654

the rp7420 specs. CPUs are either PA8800 or PA8900 - both are dual core.



The rp7410 has PA8700 - this is a single core.

Thank you guys. I thought they were, but did not see it listed on the SAID's I was wondering if there was an actual command that would say. But thats good to know that they all are.

[John Jimenez]

thanks again

Run top and if you have multiple CPU lines you have multiple processors active.

The "machinfo" command in hp-ux 11.31 works with RISC cpus too, example:

# machinfo -v
CPU info:
1 PA-RISC 8800 processor (800 MHz, 32 MB)

2 logical processors (2 per socket)
