how to get the number of sockets

[Marti, Rob]

Check manufacturers specs.  There isn't a software way to check for an empty cpu - I'm guessing you meant empty because /proc/cpuinfo tells you how mant slots are full.

grep physical /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c
      4 physical id     : 0
      4 physical id     : 1

So 4 cores on each of 2 sockets.

Subject: how to get the number of sockets

Hi all,
I was going to by a red hat license for a new server, an looking the note1 in this link:
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/#note1

I have reallized that the important thing is the number of sockets, not the number of cpus.

So my question is simple, how can I get the number of sockets a motherboard has, ?(without opening it. of coures)

I have look at the /proc dir but I get only info about the cpus, not about the sockets,

any suggestion,

Thanks in advance
