Hi MatsSjöström,
Thank you for using LMT DWA support. Could you please let me know how many sockets per server has the processor? Please check the PVU table below.

Last week we upgraded our ILMT to version 9.2.12. During that upgrade process, a new Software Catalog and PVU table was imported. Now we have a PVU value of 120 for our cores, which is E5-2660 0, which should result in a PVU value of 70. This gives that our total PVU value is higher than we expect. We can see in ILMT that PVU table is dated 06/14/2018, but when we go to IBM support site and search for the latest PVU table, we can see that it's dated 03/08/2018. Please advise on what logs or files we need to attach.

Hi MatsSjöström,
The PVU table is updated automatically when the upgrade is performed and it is the latest available. Could you please answer to my question regarding the sockets number of the processor, as you can see the PVU value is different depending on the number of sockets.

Hi,
We have 8 servers with the following list of processors:
Server1: 2 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz Server2: 4 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz Server3: 4 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz Server4: 4 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz Server5: 2 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz Server6: 4 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz Server7: 4 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz Server8: 4 CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz
All of them have 2 sockets per processor.

I have followed the recommendations provided by you. The first link contained checkpoints on versions of different modules in ILMT. There are all updated and working. So I went for the next, which was to manually reset the PVU values to 70, as they should be according to the PVU table. So I will now wait from scheduled import and scans to verify that ILMT is updated and showing the correct total of PVU's.
