Are you running a cluster on those LPARs?

no each lpar is a stand alone AIX image

I'm not sure but is it because of SMT is enabled on those partitions?

I will check on my system and I will come back to you ASAP

on no it is not because of the SMT.

I've just disabled the SMT and it still giving me two lines per partition!!!

But from an Lpar which has one adapter, this is what i've got (Though this particular lpar is not showing in the list and it is 5.3 as well!!!)

Thanks raylin

but i set the Allow shared processing pool utilization authority option and i'm still having this same output!!!

this option is only for the "app" column in lparstat.
You must be at AIX ML03 minimum and you must restart the lpar in the moment (in the future with a firmware upgrade it must be possible without (they say)

It is not for the double line problem in topas ;-)

But in topas -C (cross partition view ) the APP is showed without setting this option in the Lpar properties

while searching another problem I found the following :

installed SP3 5300-04-03 (cumulative ptfs from SP1 + SP2) : ==> and as you can see only one line per LPAR
