Is there a was to determine which CPU's are mounted in the P5 box?

From HMC I just see number of CPUs (cores) available.

But how to tetermine if my 4 cores is in fact one QCM or two dual core modules?
I read it is important for licensing - having QCM I save money purchsing licenses.

I think you are reading this the wrong way.

Either your machine is using QCM or not.
If it is a QCM machine then use the QCM prices.
If it is not a QCM machine then use the other prices.

You do not need to worry which CPUs/Cores inside your machine that you are using only the number of cores.

This is a valid question - how does one tell without going to look at the front bezel on the raised floor? I have a customer asking the same thing for WAS license audit. The person doing the audit in some cases would see a 4-core 550 but is it DCM on two cards or QCM on one card. I don't have one to query but I'm hoping prtconf with one flag or another will help.

Hello...

I don't know of a "one command" way to determine this... but the following should work...

lsattr -El sys0 will show you what type of machine type model you are running... a 550Q must be a 9133, although not all 9133 are 550Q.

Next you would need to check the processor speed... lsattr -El proc0 (or any of the proc's) should show you the processor speed... 550Q has a procesor speed of 1.65Ghz...

So the combination of 9133 and 1.65Ghz means, 550Q..

Hope that helps...

If you have access to the ASM menu, expand "System Configuration", expand "Hardware Deconfiguration", click on "Processor Deconfiguration". Select one of the listed processing units and click on "Continue". Look at the location codes for each line listed. If ther are 4 entries and the location code is the same, it is a QCM. If there are 4 entries with two different location codes than there are two DCM's. Remember, don't change your processors to "Deconfigured".
