Having done this several times, here is the CORRECT way:
1. First, if you havent done so, reboot the server and do an F10 to
edit the hardware configuration. Make sure that both processors are
seen here.
2. Since this is a Compaq server, you will need the latest version of
Smartstart. (it can also be downloaded from Compaq's website)
3. Go back into NT and browse the Smartstart CD for
\\cpqsupsw\ntssd\setup.exe
This will install the server support software. In this windows you
will see an option to upgrade to multiprocessor.
(Upgrade all of your other stuff as well using the Express option.)
4. Reboot
If you have any questions, feel free to email me directly.
Thanks.

I think Feargal is correct in saying that the 2nd processor was added
after
NT was installed. NT is using a single processor kernal and needs to
be
upgraded to the multiprocessor kernal. You can use uptomp.exe
(resource kit
utility), but I hear that is very unreliable. The other option is to
reinstall NT. I think there is a MS KB article on upgrading to MP
kernal
manually, but don't recall for sure.
Someone else said that you would need to buy an additional license.
That is
very untrue.

First thing: This is a mailing list for matters related to CISCO
certifiaction.
Second thing: NT probably needs you to buy an additional license in
order to
use the second processor - or if NT was installed with only one
processor
and the second added later - then it only installed the single
processor
kernel.

Subject: Two(2) Processors [7:4499]
Hi group,
I have a little proble on my hands.
I have an NT4 server running sp4. There are two
processors in it, it is a compaq system. It also have
two processor controllers installed.
My problem is, the hardware sees the 2 processors at
bootup and displays information regarding both, but NT
still records 1 processor.
Do I need to do something else.
Help will be appreciated.
Regards.
Oletu H. G.
