Nisha, I'm hoping that you are just asking about the fields in this report (as opposed to asking about what is a CPU)... <g> I think that the formatting was lost when you copied that text into your email but it kindof looks like the top of an AWR report. In the AWR report header, I believe that "CPU" does not account for hyperthreading - so on an HT-enabled system you'll see twice as many CPUs as there physically are. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Schneider Pythian Consulting Group Chicago +1 312-725-9249 http://www.pythian.com On Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:06:08 +0000 Nisha Mohan <NishaMohan_A@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi , > I have a two node RAC on RHEL. > I saw the following in my AWR in terms of configurations.
