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
