if it's a power5 then i'd assume that the CPUs are dual core... but it's not like windows systems where a dual core processor will be viewed as two processors to the OS.
i don't know oracle's licensing policies, but from other software that i've dealt with, noone deals with the number of cores a processor has... most only deal with how many processors the OS sees. so in your case, 3 processors (looks like it's a 3 proc LPAR).
you may need to ask oracle about how it deals with the P-series/AIX capacity on demand issues, LPARs, and micro partitioning.

3. HP-UX
Hi Guys,
Can someone please give me an introduction with hp-ux licensing?
Is the licensing per user or per cpu or both? How do you push it on the server? Or is it included in the hardware price.
Thanks in advance,

My understanding is that Oracle DB licensing is based on number of cores etc. If you use virtual machines (e.g.ldoms) you need to partition it properly otherwise, in theory you have to pay based on the host machine.

psrinfo(1) General Commands Manual psrinfo(1)
NAME
psrinfo, pinfo - Displays processor administration information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/psrinfo -n
/usr/sbin/psrinfo [-v] [processor...]
/usr/sbin/psrinfo -s processor
/usr/sbin/pinfo [-v] [processor...]
OPTIONS
Displays the number of processors in the system. Enables verbose mode. Writes only a boolean value to standard output. The -s option
requires a single processor identification number (processor). The -s option is intended to be used in scripts. A value of 1 is output if
the specified processor is on line. A value of 0 is output if the specified processor is off line.
DESCRIPTION
The psrinfo and pinfo commands display information about processors. The processor variable specifies the processor identification number,
which is a unique integer that identifies the processor. If you do not specify any options or a processor identification number, the com-
mands display information about all processors.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of the default prsinfo command output (no options or processor identification numbers):
greene:> psrinfo 0 on-line since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 1 on-line since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 2 off-line since
11/03/1999 08:41:34
The following example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -s option in a shell script to determine the state of the pro-
cessor with an identification number of 1:
if [ "`psrinfo -s 1 2> /dev/null`" -eq 1 ] then echo "processor 1 is up" else echo "processor 1 is down" fi The following
example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -v option:
% psrinfo -v Status of processor 0 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor. Status of processor 1 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor. Status of processor 2 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been off-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor. Status of processor 3 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:14:00
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor.
