Our asset management discovery tool currently captures virtual processor information from LPARs. There is a requirement to capture the actual physical processor count, type etc...for the entire chassis. This is done manually at the moment but automation is preferred.
Are there any commands which can be run from within a LPAR to display this information? Or are there any ibm/3rd party tools available to provide this info?

Cheers,

However you do it manually should work in a script.

Depends what you are after, if you use shared processors / uncapped then any lpar could be using any processor in the system and I don't believe there is any way to track this.

If you just want an inventory of what processors are in the system then lscfg -vp from any lpar on the system will show all of the processor vpd for the whole system, whether used by that lpar or not, whether unactivated CoD processors or active ones of any kind.

I am really only after a simple count of physical processors for the entire chassis. Regardless of the processor allocation method, some software licensing requires the total count of physical processors. It would be ideal to capture this from a LPAR rather than track manually.

Does the command suggested capture logical or physical processors?

Thanks,

I would gather this information from the HMC commandline. can be easily scripted if you permit key authenticated ssh login. look at the lshwres command in the hmc commandline reference. also tells you about cuod ressources.
