Extracting Resource Allocation Data for Chargeback in a HP Virtual Server Environment for HP Integrity Servers

CLI: mxquery and mxreport commands

CPU Cores

For noncomplex physical servers, the mxreport command produces a report that shows the number

of CPU cores. The “CPU – Servers” query lists all CPU cores for all noncomplex servers with one

line of output per CPU core. For example:

CMS # mxreport -e "CPU - Servers" -x CSV | more

CPU - Servers

Associated systems: All Servers

CMS #

A simple filter can show the exact number of cores for a specific noncomplex server. The following

example obtains the number of cores for a server named va02cm:

CMS # mxreport -e "CPU - Servers" -x CSV | grep va02cm | wc -l

CMS #

Obtaining the number of CPU cores for a complex is more complex. The CPU core count is stored in

HP SIM for each partition of the complex, not as a single value for the complex as a whole. The

following three commands can be used:

 mxquery –e “All nPartition Servers”: Lists all complexes. DeviceName is the

name of the complex. For example:

CMS # mxquery -e "All nPartition Servers" | more
