Well I defined three virtual cpus for the vm adsm server. From an IND USER
command it seems that the product is doing a tiny amount of work on
multiple processors.

Does anyone have any guidelines on what kind of configuration or work
loads will exploit parallel processing within the adsm server?

Here is the output from the command "ind user dsmserv"
