W are using TSMExplorer (www.s-iberia.com). TSMExplorer and TSMExplorer Agent 
for Windows and Unix allow to collect very detailed information about clients 
(a few seconds per client node).
Very useful report gives number of cores for each node, including IBM logical 
partitions and micro-partitions. For micro-partitions it gives number of cores 
like  1.7, 2.3, etc.

CPU'S aka processors a server has

All I'm sorry if i confused anyone or seem confused myself. No we
currently know how many our current 5 TSM server's have. I was trying to
get a count of processors of our 400+ user(client machine). Thanks
everyone who has replied.

We've had rousing discussions on this in the past, thoroughly exploring
the area.  Search on "processors" in the List archives, finding such
threads as http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l AT vm.marist DOT edu/msg72508.html
.  The TSM client doesn't try to query the number of processors.
