Finding how many CPUs/Cores/Threads in a Solaris server

I think this will only work in Solaris 10, but this should give a nice output of how many Physical CPUs, Physical Cores, and Threads [Virtual CPUs] are recognized by Solaris. This will work on Solaris 10 for SPARC or x86. Note: I’m told that the script gives strange results when run in an LDOM. […]

Welcome

I am a Unix System Administrator in Dallas, TX. Most of the servers I'm currently responsible for are Solaris and Oracle Linux [RHEL], but most of my experience has been with Debian. I've also been a Windows admin [MCSE NT 4.0 baby!] in the past.

Some may wonder why I'd publicly claim to be a "Lazy SysAdmin." I believe that good System Administrators are inherently lazy. It's not that we aren't willing to work, but we don't want to have to do the same things over and over again. If there is a process that needs to be done more than two or three times, then that process needs to be scripted and/or automated.

This is just my place to post whatever I want. If you like it, great, if not, then go away. :)
