Well, I will try and write it again. Trying to answer something complex just before dinner is poor timing. And this is complex stuff. I travel all around Europe to look at systems and explain how to modify configurations to increase overall system utilization. - read - not an easy subject for a forum - a "whitepaper" and/or a presentation is better.

However, read the man page and/or google on lbusy. The IBM infocenter should at least say something.

Also look at physc (which is actually a count of the msec used (/10), not the actual # of (virtual) processors used.

For your specific question I would like to ask you to look at the output of sar -P ALL - and see if it already answered for you.

Post your remaining questions, also include what this is for (if I understand your objective I can give a better answer, otherwise it tends to become technical (nerdy) mumbo-jumbo).

NAME

       cpu - A tool for user and group administration

SYNOPSIS

       cpu [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       CPU is a tool for user administration, that was initially based on FreeBSD's pw(8). This tool will allow you to administer users and groups
       on several different backends currently including LDAP and flat files. Please see the website http://cpu.sourceforge.net for more  informa-
       tion, or help improve the man page.

OPTIONS

       There are two kinds of options; options for CPU and options for CPU modules.  There are only four options for CPU, they are as follows:

       -C configfile, --config configfile
	      The configuration file to be used by CPU. The options in this file are used for CPU modules.

       -h, --help
	      Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed.

       -M method, --method=method
	      This  is	the method of administration. Current options are ldap or passwd (passwd is not yet working). This can be specified in the
	      configuration file.

       -V, --version
	      Display the version of the software.
