RE: Monitoring dual CPUs on Solaris 10

The problem is that SUN uses a variety of methodologies (eg. kstat,
picld) to report on multiple CPU's.  I need to know the exact platform
(eg. T2000) to figure out how it's being reported and what changed since
the last time I looked at this.

Subject: Re: Monitoring dual CPUs on Solaris 10

Is no-one on this list monitoring a 2 CPU machine? I find that hard to
believe.

I would really appreciate some help on this.

Thanks

Ian
