Answered: Number of CPUs on my Sun Server

Sun, 07 Aug 2011 11:05:06 +0000

Sun systems are not that straight forward when it comes to listing out the number of processors or cores or threads they have. Lets start with the basics.

Basic command is psrinfo -v. In the later releases of solaris 9 an option p was introduced to help you distinguish between physical cpu and multiple cores. Assuming that -p works for your patch level, lets issue this command. This gets a lot more confusing in solaris 10, but since you are asking solaris 9, I will not get into that.. lets use the command below

>> psrinfo -pv

In addition to the above, you can also use prtdiag to get the information about your system. you can man that command to get more info, but running it with the -v flag should give you most of the information needed.

>> prtdiag -v

I dont have a readily available system to run these commands and explain the output, hope that some one else on this forum can do the same.

Welcome to the forum. Would have appreciated you joining the site instead of posting the question as anonymous.

Check a few things..

1. Check on the networking setup. Are the jumpstart server and this one in the same subnet ?

2. At OBP, try a watch-net-all and capture the interface that is ok.. Now try boot net <interface>

Many times the domain setup itself leads to the issue.. If you dont see anything in the watch-net-all then you should go back to the drawing board on how your domain was setup and validate the config.

Hope that helps
