You can also query the against Orion database via SQL Management Studio or Orion DB Manager:

#To find which hosts
select hostname from vim_hosts where PollingSource in ('1','2')

#To find total CPU Sockets
Select sum(cpupkgcount) from VIM_hosts

 

To find out how many sockets per host 

Drill down into the node details and look at the Current Hardware Health widget, which shows how many CPUs the host has. The number of sockets consumed equals the number of CPUs the host has.
