Assigned microprocessors
To view a list of microprocessors that are assigned to an LPAR, select the Managed System (CEC) object on the HMC and view its properties.
There is a tab that displays the current allocation state of all processors that are assigned to running partitions. AIX® uses the firmware-provided numbers, which allows you to see from within a partition the processors that are used by looking at the microprocessor numbers and AIX location codes.
Verifying the status of the microprocessors assigned to a
two-processor partition looks similar to the following:
> lsdev -C | grep proc
proc17 Available 00-17 Processor
proc23 Available 00-23 Processor
