DS20E . Update 1Go => 4Go and add Second CPU: Howto

Hello from france,
I just received a new DS20E Bi666Mhz/4Go and a kit Memory and Cpu Unit for my actual DS20E.
This is the actual best Unix computer that i never seen ...

I just installed the 3Go extension (Total 4go Now) and the second CPU Unit.
I show on srm (7.2) the 4go memory and the second CPU.
So after start my tru64 5.1.APK6, the system told me "swap space below 10 percent free"
I suppose that is necessary to put more swap on my system. But why the system don't use physical memory instead Swap ?
This my config in sysconfigtab
swapdevice = /dev/disk/dsk1a,/dev/disk/dsk1b,/dev/disk/dsk1g
vm-swap-eager = 1 (May this parameter pb)
vm_segmentation = 1
vm_ubcdirtypercent=10
vfs:
noadd_exec_access = 0
bufcache=1
fifo_do_adaptive=0
sec:
acl_mode = disable

ipc:
sem_msl = 100
sem_mni = 64
shm_mni=256
shm_seg=128
shm_max=2139095040

Application: Database Oracle and Progress.

So how can i use my second CPU . Rebuild vmunix or add parameters ?
License problem ? How can i obtain it ... Is there someone in this world that he can give me help and this licence number to use my second Cpu ... I know is not correct but the US vendor forget to give me more detail .. grrr.

Bests regards ...

Your swapspace issue and the licensing problem are two completely separate things. The system will indeed use all available physical memory before going to swapspace. Please post the output of:
# disklabel -r dsk1

- and -

# vmstat -P

with the Oracle database up and running and we can figure out what to do about the swap space.

The license will have been purchased from HP along with the second CPU. The vendor you purchased the CPU from must supply it.

Hello Mark and thanks for your Help?
here are the result of your demand :

In attach file result of this command:
- Disklabel -r dsk1
- vmstat -P
- swapon -s

Have you got a License SMP CPU for my DS20e ??

Thanks in advance ...

Setting 'vm_swap_eager' to zero on your system will definitely make those swapspace warnings go away. From the look of the 'swapon' output this should be safe for you - assuming you executed the command at a time of maximum system load. Having said that, you should be fully aware of the implications of making this change before you do so. See section 2.3.2.2 of the System Configuration and Tuning Guide.

That license can legally only be provided by the vendor - who presumably purchased one from HP. If the vendor can provide you with proof that they had a valid license at some point you may be able to get HP to issue a duplicate.
