Inconsistent cpu utilization reports

[hp_user_1]

Hi there,
I have an N4000-44 server with 2 vpars. One vpar has 5 cpus and the other one has 3 allocated. The server with 5 cpus reports in glance that there are only 2 active cpus 0 and 3, while stm, sysinfo and ioscan report 5 active cpus.

Who is right?

What should I do to make all 5 cpus active on the server?

Thanks

Shalom hp_user,

Bound cpu's can not be moved from vpar to vpar.

Unbound cpu's can be shifted from vpar to vpar. They can be used in the vpar they are already in.

vparmoidfy -p vPar_name -a cpu:109

109 is replaced by the cup you ant to use.

Hi,

What does top report ?

I think the unbound CPU's won't show up in Glance. Only bound CPU's are interruptable and capable of handling I/O. I suspect that Glance treats them differently. They may be assigned to the VPAR but, not being bound, they aren't counted by Glance. Sorry, I can't test this theory because all mine are bound but I think it's fairly likely that this is the case.

With this info can someone tells me how many cpus this box has and how many are allocated to yyzppdb3 partition.

Thanks
