Error description
The TPC Web-based GUI incorrectly reports the number of processor on an AIX platforms. i.e on AIX machine: lsdev |grep proc proc0 Available 00-00 Processor proc4 Available 00-04 Processor proc8 Available 00-08 Processor in the TPC SRA probe logs: 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 674): >> Found processor 1: proc0 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 496): Calling odm_get_obj(CuAt, name=proc0 and attribute=type, ...) 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 514): Exiting with returnValue = true 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 684): >> ODM device = proc0, type = PowerPC_POWER7 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 496): Calling odm_get_obj(CuAt, name=proc0 and attribute=frequency, ...) 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 514): Exiting with returnValue = true 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 692): >> ODM device = proc0, frequency = 3304000000, processorSpeed = 3304 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 674): >> Found processor 2: proc4 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 674): >> Found processor 3: proc8 2015-01-23 08:12:36.181 [10813476] [1] : Probe.cpp ( 700): >> Found total of 3 processors But the TPC Web-based GUI is showing 32 processors.

Affected platforms: AIX only.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * TPC 5.2.x users who install SRAs on AIX hosts * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * On AIX hosts the SRA probe collects the number of processors * * incorrectly * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply fix maintenance when available. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The problem was fixed, the number of processors should display correctly in TPC Web GUI for AIX SRA hosts. The fix for this APAR is targeted for the following maintenance package: | refresh pack | 5.2-TIV-TPC-RP0006 - target June 2014 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822 The target dates for future refresh packs do not represent a formal commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change without notice.
