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.

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.

Re: Two(2) Processors [7:4499]
There is a patch for this please look up the MS site, I suspect that the system was installed with a single processor and a second added later. The only other exception is the early Celeron Processors that could not be Dual Processed.

Re: Two(2) Processors [7:4499]
Before you start, make sure that you have a complete, working backup of the system files and the registry, and that you have a current Emergency Repair Disk (ERD). To create an updated ERD, run Rdisk.exe from a command prompt, and then select Update Repair Info. To add support in Windows NT for an additional processor, follow these steps: NOTE: Some Compaq computers require a different HAL -- Halsp.dll. Refer to the latest Compaq Software Support Disk SSD for details. 1. Install Windows NT to a separate folder on your hard disk, and then restart your computer to the new installation of Windows NT. 2. In the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder of your original Windows NT installation, rename the following files to alternate names: Ntoskrnl.exe Hal.dll Kernel32.dll Ntdll.dll Winsrv.dll Win32k.sys (additional file in Windows NT 4.0 only) 3. Determine which multiprocessor HAL your computer requires using the following list: Halast.dll= AST Manhattan SMP Halsp.dll = Compaq SystemPro Multiprocessor or 100% Compatible Halcbus.dll = Corollary C-bus Architecture Halmca.dll= IBM PS/2 or other Micro Channel-based PC halmpsm.dll = Micro Channel Multi Processor PC Halapic.dll = MPS Uniprocessor PC Halmps.dll= MPS Multiprocessor PC Halncr.dll= NCR System 3000 Model 3360/3450/3550 Haloli.dll= Olivetti LSX5030/40 Hal.dll = Standard PC (single processor HAL) Hal486c.dll = Standard PC with C-Step i486 Halwyse7.dll = Wyse Series 7000i Model 740MP/760MP 4. Copy the Ntkrnlmp.exe file and the appropriate HAL file from the Windows NT CD-ROM or installed service pack to the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder of your original Windows NT installation, and then rename them to Ntoskrnl.exe and Hal.dll, respectively. 5. Copy the Ntdll.dll file from the original Windows NT CD-ROM or installed service pack to the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder of your original Windows NT installation. 6. From a command prompt, expand the Kernel32.dll and Winsrv.dll files from the Windows NT CD-ROM or installed service pack to the %SystemRoot%\system32 folder of your original Windows NT installation. For example, type the following commands: expand kernel32.dl_ %systemroot%\system32\kernel32.dll expand winsrv.dl_ %systemroot%\system32\winsrv.dll NOTE: To properly expand files from the Windows NT CD-ROM, you must use the Expand.exe utility included with Windows NT. The Windows NT Expand.exe utility can only be run from a command prompt in a 32-bit environment such as Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT. NOTE: In Windows NT 4.0, the Win32k.sys file is also required. Expand it from the original Windows NT CD-ROM or the installed service pack. 7. Restart your computer. 8. When the Windows NT kernel loads, ensure that it displays Multiprocessor kernel during startup. Support for the second processor is now installed and is ready for use. To return to single processor support, restore the old files to the original names in the %System Root%\System32 folder, and then restart the computer. NOTE: The files located on the Window NT CD-ROM and in the service packs are multiprocessor aware. To return to single processor, you must install Windows NT on a single processor computer, install any applicable service packs, and then copy the associated files from that computer to the computer you want to return to single processor. You should also update the Setup.log file in the $SystemRoot%\Repair folder to reflect the correct state of your computer in order for future service packs and the repair process to function properly. To update the setup.log file run rdisk and choose the update option on the first screen. NOTE: When you change to or from single or multiple processors, if you are using Proxy 2.0 server on the same computer, you also need to replace the Ipfltdrv.sys driver as well (%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers). The single-processor version is 36 KB in size and is located on the Proxy 2.0 CD-ROM in the Msproxy\I386\Routing\Up folder. The multiple-processor version is 34 KB in size and is located on the Proxy 2.0 CD-ROM in the Msproxy\I386\Routing folder. regards Orest Mr. Oletu Hosea Godswill, CCNA : Hi group, I have a little proble on my hands.

RE: Two(2) Processors [7:4499]
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.

RE: Two(2) Processors [7:4499]
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.
