Processor FC

[ogniemi]

Is there any command to check what Processor FC is installed in a P5 box?

For example, in "p5-520 Technical Overview and Introduction" (

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp9111.pdf

)

is said, that following processor FC can be installed:

FC5231
FC5226
FC5229

How to find in the system this FCXXXX? I tried using lsvpd command but it didn't.

I know I can compare my CPU speeds with above features but I would like prefere to find exact FC number in the system. Maybe from HMC?

Any idea?

thank you in advance,!

I tried to run the lsvpd on a p5570 LPAR and i got question marks in front of the FC!

No luck on the lscfg -vp ...

In any case, IMHO those FC's are marketing feature codes, which don't necessarily reflect to VPD attributes.

On a 520 the CPU chip is mounted directly on the system planar, so it doesn't even show up on its own in the lscgf -vp listing.

So it's compare speeds (1.5 or 1.65 GHz), number of cpus (1 or 2) and go from there...
