Were SOL if you want something that _works_ on Solaris. 
Write a shell/perl script and use it instead. 

Posting from net-snmp-users.

Well, it's broken, because there isn't any support for it.
We simply return a single metric value for each of the CPU statistics,
regardless of whether this relates to 1 CPU, or 100.

This is one of the things we hope to address when we come to defining
the NET-SNMP MIBs, to replace the existing UCD-SNMP MIBs.  But that
will simply provide a structure for the data - we'll still be reliant
on someone with a multi-CPU system being able to provide the necessary
code to support this.
