identify the number of CPU on HPUX

[John Chan]

Is there a shell command on HPUX 10.x that show the numbers of CPU ? The "top" output is messed up when it's captured to a file. I am a non-root user, therefore cannot access to dmesg. We have over 50 servers, I want to write a script to identify the number of CPU on each server.

any idea ?

top will display the # of cpu's. If your display is not showing it correctl, I would suspect that the DISPLAY variable is not set correctly. Can alos use sar -M

[Rick Garland]

If you are wanting to capture the output to a file, you will probably want to use awk and printf to format the fields to fixed lengths.

The sar -M can be run as non-root

John,

You stated that the top output is misformatted when captured to a file. Are you using:
# top -f /tmp/top.out

This should give you a fairly decently formatted report.

It's an undocumented feature. :^)

Hi John,

sar -M 1 5 will show cpu usage for five seconds. this will show you the number of cpus. as stated earlier you can direct this output to a file. The -M option is specifically for multiple cpu systems. Also you can use the "stm" command to get a complete view of the system. Hope this helps.

You can also use sar -M and tail command

I'm not familiar with the "stm" command. I'm looking at a HP R390 running HPUX 11.0 and don't see the command. Is it part of a separate optional package?

Stm is part of Diagnostics. You have to install Diagnostics (now is called Support Puls cdrom) to be able to use stm

[Rick Garland]

stm is the 'Systems Tools Manager' and can execute in character mode (cstm), motif mode (mstm), and X mode (xstm).
