Re: how many processors

If you have a dual core setup, I'd ask your vendor if the licensing the per processor socket or per processor core. I've seen it both ways.

Hadn't thought of that. I need to know the number for licensing purposes - I'm buying Tivoli client licenses, and the pricing is per CPU.

I ran the "dmidecode -t processor" command that someone recommended - it brings back 2 entries for "Central Processor" - I'm assuming those are the entries for the CPUs?

They must be two physical dual-core processors, right?  Do you need to

How can you tell how many processors a server has?  I always thought
that you could look in /proc/cpuinfo, but we recently had a Dell tech
here that said that was incorrect.  One of my servers shows 4
processors
in cpuinfo, but he said the box only has 2.  So, what is the correct
way
to tell?
