An administrator wants to document the number of processors in an AIX LPAR. NMON shows 32 CPUs configured, but prtconf reports only 4 processors. What would cause the difference in the numbers…

Question
An administrator wants to document the number of processors in an AIX LPAR. NMON shows 32 CPUs configured, but prtconf reports only 4 processors. What would cause the difference in the numbers reported?
Options
- Aprtconf reports the number of processors, not the number of CPUs
- BSMT-8 is switched on for the system and nmon reports number of logical CPUs
- Cnmon shows the max configurable number of processors, while prtconf shows only active
- Dnmon is a third-party tool which can deliver inconsistent information depending on the system
