|  |     no DON'T use psradm
    
    use the console
    
    see 3827.2 in this conference
    see also mvblab::sable note 1835 and its reply .1
    
    And in the manpage for psradm, note the following:
    
    RESTRICTION
    
    Do not use the psradm command to disable CPUs when benchmarking perfor-
    mance, because the command does not provide an accurate reflection of the
    performance of a system that actually has fewer CPUs.  Accurate performance
    results are obtained only when you disable the CPUs at the SRM console com-
    mand level.

| 9355.3 | 2->1 cpu with psradm doesn't equal 1 cpu | SMURF::WOODWARD |  | Thu Apr 03 1997 07:51 | 9 | 
|  |     To get "true" single processor performance, you just can't use psradm
    to shutdown a cpu.  Using the psradm command will not turn off SMP
    locking when going down to 1 processor.  Thus you will be paying the
    SMP price on a system running only one processor.  You need to shutdown
    the system to the console, disable the proper processors, then reboot
    the system.

|  |     In addition to what John said in .2, the psradm command doesn't work in
    V4.0B anyway (QAR 51839).
