System administrators requesting TSM coverage for new Windows systems can generally see 'Xeon' and a model designation such as 'E5420' on the systems property panel. Linux administrators can usually find similar information in /proc/cpuinfo. I am occasionally asked to set up TSM coverage for an older server. In such cases administrators frequently see the 'Xeon' brand but not the letter and four digit model designation. Is it safe to assume that a Xeon system that does not report such a model designation is using single core CPU chips?
