Description: CPU socket information including data on how this Processor can be upgraded (if upgrades are supported). 1=Other,2=Unknown,3=Daughter Board,4=ZIF Socket, 5=Replacement/Piggy Back,6=None,7=LIF Socket,8=Slot 1,9=Slot 2, 10=370 Pin Socket,11=Slot A,12=Slot M,13=Socket 423, 14=Socket A (Socket 462),15=Socket 478,16=Socket 754, 17=Socket 940,18=Socket 939

What is ibmSystemProcessorUpgradeMethod?

This is a numeric code identifying the CPU socket type and upgrade method supported by this processor, such as Socket A, Slot 1, or Socket 478. Admins reference this when planning a CPU upgrade or replacement to confirm which physical socket type a compatible replacement processor must match. For example, a value of 15 indicates a Socket 478 CPU socket, ruling out newer or older socket-type replacement processors.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.140.1.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-PROCESSOR-MIB::ibmSystemProcessorUpgradeMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.140.1.1.11.1
