Multi processor

[HARRY_2]

Dear all,

I have D390 box,which has dual processor,

During booting it shows only one
processor as active,But after booting
in sam it show both active.

Any problem? Why?

Thanks
Harry.

At initial boot only 1 CPU is active as this is the one the server boots up on (CPU0). Once the HP-UX kernel is loaded it can utilise any extra processors. So, no, you dont have a problem.

As Stefan says, that's quite normal. During bootup, you should actually see :-

processor 0 Active configured
processor 1 Inactive configured

Only start to worry, should one of them not say configured. It would then indicate that the h/w selftests have failed and it's deactivated a processor. Or of course, it could mean you went it and deconfigured one of them.
