Incompatible mix of processors. System will not boot.
Is this because we can't use these PA8800's in a PA8900 system??
If i remember right I once put PA8900's in a PA8800 system and no problems but once I went back to the PA8800 it said incompatible mix.
Is there a way to get it back to working with the PA8800's??
Any Ideas??
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: RP4440 upgrade to 1Ghz Processors
why you have always the same problems?
How about your L-classes? Are they working now?
Have a look at this page, it shows all supported cpus:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12034_div/12034_div.HTML
Remember, you cannot mix them.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: RP4440 upgrade to 1Ghz Processors
It doesn't support a mix of processors at the same time. That means that all processors in the system are:
all PA8800 800MHz
or
all PA8800 1GHz
or
all PA8900 800MHz
or
all PA8900 1GHz
If you are trying to mix processor versions or speeds that isn't going to work.
If all the processors are the same type/speed it should work - contact your HP support to find out why its not - maybe a firmware issue?

Re: RP4440 upgrade to 1Ghz Processors
it seems you may have one of the slightly older boxes with an early version of firmware installed. when they where first released the pa8800 was the latest processor so no support was added for pa8900 proc.
Since they were released a new firmware release became available
Here is the link
http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.search|&patchid=PHSS_33088&context=firmware:osinit
download this and insatll and hopefully you will be up and running with the pa8900's
Also just a quick note as others have said about mixing them. The rp4440's can have upto 4 dual core proc's so make sure you dont have any installed on the other side of the processor extender board, I'm sure you checked already but there are quite well hidden

Re: RP4440 upgrade to 1Ghz Processors
My firmware is 45.11 so I don't know if that is the latest.
Also, when I do an IN CA for the cache sizes it gives me 33554432 for Insructional cache size and 33554432 for Data cache size. Shouldn't this be something like 64MB or 32MB??
Any help would be much appreciated.

Solution33554432 = 33,554,432 = 32mb
The upgrade from 8800 to 8900 (32mb to 64mb) requires an upgrade to the core I/O as well as the CPU replacement. This means replacing the U160 SCSI and single port LAN cards with U320 SCSI and dual port LAN card. While the dual port LAN was an option on the original units, perhaps the 8800 architecture is not compatible with the newer SCSI cards.
Most customers aren't worried about back revving their hardware, hence most documentation is written with a methodology of "upgrade" and not "downgrade". You can find my reference for the information listed above in Chapter 2 of http://tinyurl.com/7nt33
