3089353 - Number of cores in SYSAM license for uncapped LPAR on AIX

• How to determine the number of cores for a PARTITION sub-capacity license on an uncapped LPAR on AIX ?
  
  
• Running in an AIX LPAR requiring too many CP licenses:
  Example is from SAP ASE but not limited to this product
  
  AIX lparstat commands reports (for example):
  "Maximum Capacity" =  3
  "Online Virtual CPUs" = 2

• For the example above, ASE errorlog shows:
  
  SySAM Licensing capacity set to PARTITION licensing. All ASE instances running on IBM_LPAR_1 (HOSTID=PARTITION-ID=11112222aaaabbbb) will share licenses. License quantities are based on 12 logical processor(s), 3 core(s) in 1 chip(s).
  SySAM: Checked out graced license for 3 ASE_CORE ... will expire Thu Sep  9 20:35:39 2021.
  SySAM: Failed to obtain license(s) for ASE_CORE feature from license file(s) or server(s
  SySAM: Insufficient ASE_CORE CPU licenses. ASE requires 3 ASE_CORE ("CP") CPU licenses for use on this machine but only 2 could be obtained.
