The CPU Report is helpful in quickly classifying machines based on the amount of CPU's, the manufacturer of the CPU, or the architecture of the CPU (32-bit versus 64-bit). You can get an overall view to analyze and determine which CPUs are more effective than others for backup jobs, and which ones could be potential problem areas.
For example, if you identify a node having a slower throughput value, you can monitor the CPU speed of that node through this report. You can look for patterns in behavior among the slower CPUs or among the same manufacturer. A 32-bit CPU node may have a slower throughput compared to a 64-bit CPU node.
You can also use the fastest throughput values as reference points to analyze why these CPUs are performing well. You can compare the slower CPUs to the faster CPUs to determine if you actually have a problem or if both sets of values are similar, maybe the slower CPUs are not performing poorly.
This report helps you determine if you need to upgrade your CPU hardware.
Always look for patterns in behavior to isolate potential problem CPUs and determine if nodes with the same CPUs are failing frequently. It is important to analyze the results from all fields of this report when attempting to determine problem nodes.
