Question
How to determine how many processors are installed in a RS/6000.
Answer
To determine how many processors are installed in a RS/6000, perform the following steps:
1. Issue:
run /usr/bin/lslpp -l | grep bos
2. Look for bos.mp or bos.up. Both cannot be installed on the same system. bos.up is the base operating system kernal for a uniprocessor (1 processor). If bos.mp is seen, the kernal for a multiprocessor system, more than 1 processor may be installed.
3. Issue:
run /etc/lsdev -C | grep proc
For each process installed on the system, something similar to the following line will be seen:
proc0 Available 00-00 Processor
A system with 2 processors installed would look like:
proc0 Available 00-00 Processor
proc1 Available 00-00 Processor
