enabling extra cpu's in cstm

[mlewis]

Does any one know, how t enable extra CPU's in mstm. I cannot find any information on this. it would be a great help.

thanks

I believe stm (cstm is the character based vsersion) is for displaying and/or diagnosing hardware and relating problems.

There is another program for activating additional cpu's, but you will need the appropriate codewords from HP to activate them. The codewords will come with instructions for activating the cpu's.

If you have the cpu's activated, and want to assign additional cpu's to a partition, then you need to use the partition manager commands. (man parmgr)

Shalom,

cstm gives information.
http://docs.hp.com/en/diag/stm/help/expert/cpu_necc.htm

as does mstm

http://docs.hp.com/en/diag/stm/help/expert/cpu_necm.htm

However I've never heard of using either tool to enable CPU's.

the cpus are actually disabled, although they have been paid for. I will be obtaining the licenses from HP shortly but need some advice on simply enabling them, any ideas??

[Miguel Hernández]

Perhaps you talk about icod

Not clear what "extra CPU's" are.

There is ICOD/ICAP (run "icod_stat -a" to find out), dual-core CPUs with only 1 single active core bought, nPars with additional cells ...

Please give more details about your equipment!

[melvyn burnard]

sounds limke you are talking about iCAP cpu's.
These will only be useable once you have used the iCAP commands to install the relevant licenses to use the extra cpu.s

man icod_modify

Just in case you are talking about an "upgrade" from a small system like rp3400 from single to dual CPU, see this link:

No - the only place CPUs can be "reconfigured" is from the BCH prompt at bootup.
Only ICOD can bring up CPUs while online & you'd need a codeword to do that.

Rgds,

Thanks for the replys guys! basically its a superdome, I am convinced it is icod but have been informed by the technician who has been working on it it is not. I will have a dig around and investigate further.

keep you posted.....

[Torsten.]

Run "icod_stat" and read the output. This might help.

[mlewis]

no icod_stat commands available?

[Miguel Hernández]

Hi

Please, run this:

dw01:#swlist -l product|grep -i icod
iCOD B.11.23.07.00.00.03 Instant Capacity

dw01:#model
ia64 hp superdome server SD32A

dw01:#uname -a

Do you have more than 1 partition?

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Usually systems with iCAP/iCOD CPUs will come with the iCAP software pre-installed.

However it could be that someone has re-installed the OS on this partition, without installing the iCAP software.

I would confirm that what you are attempting to enable *is* definately an iCAP CPU, and then get the software re-installed. You can download and install from here:

ALternatively another partition on the 'dome might have the software already installed?
