chcpu: Disable CPUs via a list of CPU ID numbers.
$ chcpu -d ${1,3}
try on your machine

The command "chcpu" is used to modify the attributes of central processing unit (CPU) devices or manage virtual processors in a hardware partition.

The arguments of the command are as follows:

  • "-d": This option is used to disable specified CPUs or virtual processors.

  • "${1,3}": This is a parameter or argument passed to the command. The values inside the curly braces represent a range of CPU numbers or virtual processor IDs to be disabled. In this case, it specifies CPU or virtual processor numbers 1 through 3 to be disabled.

So the overall command "chcpu -d ${1,3}" disables CPUs or virtual processors numbered 1, 2, and 3.
