Data Collection Issues

Utilization Provider Can Report Incorrect Clock Speed for Dual Core Intel Itanium Processors

On Dual Core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors running HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23), Capacity Advisor’s data collection mechanism (the Utilization Provider) uses the wrong clock speed for the system. Systems running HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31) are not affected. The magnitude of all CPU data reported for such managed nodes is incorrect but can be corrected. Capacity Advisor will show the clock speed of such systems as approximately 400 MHz when it should be approximately 1.6 GHz. This causes the default scaling of CPU data in What-If scenarios moving a workload to or from an affected system to be off by approximately a factor of 4.

Managed nodes will have this problem if they are:

	NOTE: The correct clock speed is reported for VM guests, even if clock speed reported for the VM host is incorrect due to this problem.
