Multiple processors now showing at console

[sgorham]

I have multiple 2.5.3 and 3.0.1 esx servers running, the smallest with dual processors (most with 4). When I cat /proc/cpuinfo I get the following

processor : 0

vendor_id : GenuineIntel

cpu family : 15

model : 6

model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz

stepping : 8

cpu MHz : 3002.667

cache size : 1024 KB

fdiv_bug : no

hlt_bug : no

f00f_bug : no

coma_bug : no

fpu : yes

fpu_exception : yes

cpuid level : 6

wp : yes

flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm lm

bogomips : 5989.99

The other 1 or 3 processors do not show up. Is something configured wrong? VIC shows the correct # of processors.

Do a cat /proc/vmware/cpuinfo instead.

Whoa lightning fast reply! Thanks oreeh

I consider the service console essentially a privileged single processor VM. That is why you see one proc and why you have to dig into /proc/vmware to see the vmkernel hooks.
