Disabling cores on BL495c
I've found the following item for the BL495c G5 / G6 that covers off how to disable cores in a BL495c.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=3782978&prodTypeId=3709945&objectID=c01989569
All good except the option for me is completely different.
I get to an item "Processor Core Disable" and rather than being able to selectively disable cores I'm left with just two options, Disable Half, Enable All.
I actually want to disable all but one.
As far as I can see I am on the latest BIOS.
Is this document wrong?

Re: Disabling cores on BL495c
there is problem at your site, I've just tested our bl495cG6, bios A14 12/09/2009, core selector is at: Advanced Options - Processor Options - AMD COre Select (Per Node).
do you have latest bios in place?

Re: Disabling cores on BL495c
The BIOS is listed as A14 (12/09/2009).
I've just tried powering off / removing the Blade. That's made things worse as now I cannot connect to it as it's reporting the ILO is unresponsive.
Think this is a job for HP Engineering!

Re: Disabling cores on BL495c
Maybe the ILO BIOS got corrupted, I did do a full FW upgrade. Not sure what state the BIOS on the ILO was in, but I don't think it was the latest.
We're running the Quad Core G5's but the notes I see indicate the BIOS is the same for both G5's and G6's.
Anyway a call has been logged so we'll see what comes back.
Rob.

Re: Disabling cores on BL495c
Now need to see if I can replace 2300's with 2400's on this MB.

Re: Disabling cores on BL495c
in my opinion, you can change cpu without problem - bios is the same, mobo is the same, we did it on older generation bl685cG1-G5
