Determine the number of cores?

[tcorum]

Is there a way in AIX 5.2 to determine the number of cores on a server? I asked IBM this question and they said we just need to look at the invoice. We'll thats not going to work because we don't have the invoices. I am looking for a command to tell me how many cores are on the server so we can get the correct number of PVUs for licenses.

Thanks,

Simply counting the nuber of CPUs display in smit. All cpu displayed represend a core a simple processor depending on your hardware type.

grep-ing for cpu isn't going to work...

try this:

lscfg -vp|grep -c -E 'proc.*Processor'

HTH,
