1Testcase 05 2----------- 3 4It's been found that sometimes onlining and offlining CPUs confuse some 5of the various system tools. We found that sar wouldn't register the change 6in newly available cpus that weren't there when it started. This 7test case seeks to exercise this known error cases and verify that 8they behave correctly now. 9 10Algorithm - Sar 11=============== 12Given a CPU to test that exists 13 14Make sure the specified cpu is offline 15 16Loop until done: 17 Start up sar writing to a temp log and give it a little time to run 18 19 Verify that SAR has correctly displayed all fields of CPU statistics 20 as '0.00' for the offlined CPU or just not displayed it in its tmp log 21 22 Online the specified cpu 23 24 Take another timestamp and another count of offlined CPUs 25 26 Verify SAR registered the change in CPU online/offline states 27 28When exiting: 29 Kill the sar process 30
