Hello Friends,
On one of my Solaris 10 box, CPU usage shows 100% using "sar", "vmstat". However, it has 4 CPUs and prstat and glance are not showing enough processes to justify high CPU utilization.

Hello,
sysinfo throws out below 3 CPU counts. Can anyone help me understand what each of these means?
CPU Count Socketed is 2
CPU Count Physical is 8
CPU Count Virtual is 16

seeing weirdness across some 7.1.5.1 LPARs - they all have 2 vCPUs allocated shared. With prtconf they show 2 CPUs, 'lsdev -c processor' concurs, and 'lsattr -El procX' shows that SMT is enabled and there are 2 SMT threads (power5, sorry). Yet running topas on them shows 2 CPUs on some and 4 on... (3 Replies)

get_nprocs_conf
GET_NPROCS(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GET_NPROCS(3)
NAME
get_nprocs, get_nprocs_conf - get number of processors
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
int get_nprocs(void);
int get_nprocs_conf(void);
DESCRIPTION
The function get_nprocs_conf() returns the number of processors configured by the operating system.
The function get_nprocs() returns the number of processors currently available in the system. This may be less than the number returned by
get_nprocs_conf() because processors may be offline (e.g., on hotpluggable systems).
RETURN VALUE
As given in DESCRIPTION.
CONFORMING TO
These functions are GNU extensions.
NOTES
The current implementation of these functions is rather expensive, since they open and parse files in the /sys file system each time they
are called.
The following sysconf(3) calls make use of the functions documented on this page to return the same information.
np = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF); /* processors configured */
np = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN); /* processors available */
EXAMPLE
The following example shows how get_nprocs() and get_nprocs_conf() can be used.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("This system has %d processors configured and "
"%d processors available.
",
get_nprocs_conf(), get_nprocs());
return 0;
}
