hpasmcli (and other cli commands) should be considered relevant to detail HW configuration using Proliant support pack on that HW.

So that's one CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads.

Code:

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc ida nonstop_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt lahf_lm [8]
bogomips        : 5867.30

These CPU's definitely have hyperthreading. So there's 4 cores with hyperthreading, not 8 individual cores.

Great, thanks.

Also, what you may want to do is this:

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep 'core id|cpu cores|physical id'

The reason for this is that while the CPU may have hyperthreading on it, you can always disable some CPU cores with the maxcpus=$NUM on the kernel line in grub.

This shell string will allow you to see how many physical CPU packages exist (physical ID), how many cores are active (counting core IDs in use) and how many cores each package provides (cpu cores).

Do not, however, pipe this to word count, as you will get an incorrect number unless you sort it uniquely or pass it to uniq.


I hope that makes sense.
