what is the number of cpu's

The two Solaris commands that were suggested by <u>Joep</u> are great and point-on.

PRTDIAG is not included in the stock command path for the bourne shell in Solaris 8.

(It was soft-linked, beginning with Solaris 9)

So, as root user, you may need to do ...

<b># /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v</b>

pipe it to <i>more</i> if you're not in a scrollable CLI screen.

The V480 and V490 systems can have two or four cpu modules -- there are two integrated to each systemboard.

Luca,

We're now stretching the topic of this thread beyond its original question.

<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">

The J-numbers that you noticed were the actual DIMM slots.

Two DIMMs per memory pair, at 256mb each, add up to your total of 1GB in that SB1000 workstation. In the excerpt you provided, the RAM was in memory slot bankIDs #0 and #2, as opposed to being snapped into #1 and #3.

You have the minimum necessary number of DIMMs (4) and the other four slots are currently empty.

Nope, no manual for PRTDIAG, as far as I know.

It's a command for SPARC-based systems, not for x86 systems.

Not only that, each and every system will give you different kinds of information.Workstation (i.e. desktop) boards will provide a less verbose report than server board systems.

You'll just have to learn to interpret its output, initially by guessing, then eventually from experience.

If I may suggest -- go spend some time reading the 4000+ forum topics in the Hardware Forums.Most may not be of current interest, but it's all a learning process.
