How to count sockets for pve subscriptions?

[m.ardito]

Hi,

I tried to count my CPU-sockets to plan a budget for subscription,

my system has:

root@pve2:~# lshw | grep -i cpu
     *-cpu:0
          description: CPU
          product: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5520  @ 2.27GHz
          bus info: cpu@0
          version: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5520  @ 2.27GHz
     *-cpu:1
          description: CPU
          product: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5520  @ 2.27GHz
          bus info: cpu@1
          version: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5520  @ 2.27GHz

so I guess the cpu-socket is 2.

I've searched on the web and also found this page which ends up with

• to count cpu-sockets: "#cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l"
  • this on my system gives 2
• to count cpu-cores: "#cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep "core id|physical id" | tr -d "\n" | sed s/physical/\\nphysical/g | grep -v ^$ | sort | uniq | wc -l"
  • this on my system gives 8
• to count cpu-threads: "#cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l"
  • this on my system gives 16

Is it right, so 2 is my cpu-socket count?

Thanks, Marco

Thanks Tom,

<<To find out how many physical CPU-sockets (or sockets) there are on your server go to the GUI of your Proxmox VE, select the server node and click the Summary tab – the CPU name and the CPU-socket count will be listed.>>

but atm I have an older version on my servers (2.1).
I am planning to upgrade to 3.1 but wish to know in advance how much subscriptions will cost.

Is there any way to have same info before upgrading?

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l
