I have two 7026-6H1's. One was purchased for the production system and
has two processors in it. The test system only has one processor. Is
there a way to find out if the folks who bought these purchased a two
processor card for the test system to enable a future upgrade?

The purchase order doesn't list what was actually configured in the
box.

Is there something from lsdev that might help me?

I'm not sure which release of AIX it was introduced in, but the prtconf
command is pretty cool. Pipe the output to pg and look at the first
bit of it:

prtconf | pg

And/or lsdev -Cc processor, then depending on the output, lsattr -El procX ?

So if both systems say "Model Implementation: Multiple Processor, PCI
bus" while one has two processors and the other has one, I should
interpret as a multi-processor card with only one cpu on it?

Thanks for the prtconf. I was unaware of that.

Beware of any processor card or even processor chip count, as IBM has
started referring to "processor cores" nowadays, since the CPU "chips" now
have two CPU "cores", and associated cache, each (a bit like the Intel
Pentium class's dual-pipeline approach - but not a lot).
