When using the PowerVM connector the cores and processors count of discovered computers may appear inaccurate. The Cores/processor count will always show up as 1 no matter how many are installed on the computer. 

Snow Integration Manager with PowerVM connector configured. 

Snow License Manager.

The values seen in Snow License Manager are provided by the PowerVM API, which does not distinguish between processors/cores on a physical hosts and instead provides a single value ‘InstalledSystemProcessorUnits’ which lists the total ‘Processor Units’.

This means that the API data does not provide the detailed information offered in Snow License Manager.

This behavior is the expected result, and the PowerVM connector is working as designed. This is why there is no inaccuracy when using the Snow Inventory agent, which collects detailed insight into processors and core count. 

The data presented by PowerVM is not always accurate.
