Hi,
> Are *all* the machines Sparc? Or just the 3rd one (rs0)?
Yes, both machines are Sparc. I tried first in a homogeneous
environment.
tyr fd1026 106 psrinfo -v
Status of virtual processor 0 as of: 09/04/2012 07:32:14
on-line since 08/31/2012 15:44:42.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 1600 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
Status of virtual processor 1 as of: 09/04/2012 07:32:14
on-line since 08/31/2012 15:44:39.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 1600 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
tyr fd1026 107
My local machine (tyr) is a dual processor machine and the
other one is equipped with two quad-core processors each
capable of running two hardware threads.
Kind regards
