Are there any special steps required when changing processor count?

We have some Linux Servers with 2 CPU's out of 4 Sockets, and others with all 4 filled.  We are considering a potential change where we remove CPU's to set our other server's at 2, and then later potentially adding more CPU's so all systems have 4.  The question I have is if we can shutdown the server, remove the CPU's, and then restart the server and Linux will have no issues adapting to the change in processor count, or if there are additional steps we will need to make on the Linux side to accomodate the change in processor count.
The contractor's we usually use and would have used for this job indicate they have never run into this before so we are looking for the answer wherever we can find it.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What do you have installed? Normally the 1st CPUs boots the system and loads the SMP Linux kernel, which brings the other CPUs or Core's online. As previously outlined, there is no re-installation or re-configuration necessary and the Linux kernel will automatically adjust.
Enterprise Linux normally uses a SMP kernel, for example:
[root@localhost ~]# grep CONFIG_SMP /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_SMP=y
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.8.13-16.2.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 7 17:01:44 PST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
You may eventually have to check your PC BIOS to make sure CPU's are enabled.

  • Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

    Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Simple answer is YES.
    The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

  • Are there any problems to expect when srializing java.lang.Object?

    When having code like this:
    public class SomeClass implements Serializable{
    private final String NULL_CONSTANT="dmmystring";
    private Object result=new String(NULL_CONSTANT);
    ...whatever
    Class java.lang.Object is not implementing the Serializable Interface. In practise, this works fine however, I would like to understand this question. Will serialization work in every case as long as result is set to a serializable type?

    hi,
    If the object does not implement the Serilizable marker interface, then when you try to serialize the object, you will get a NotSerializableException. Also when you try to serialize a object, java will check to see if any variables contained in the object are also serializable and if so it serializes the same so in effect all attributes of the object must be either serializable or marked transient. When you mark a variable as transient, for eg
    transient Vector v;
    this object will not be serialized.
    you might want to check out the article at
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/performance/1st_edition/html/JPIOPerformance.fm.html#11352
    It contains ways to improve serialization, but it will also be useful in understanding the Serialization concepts as such...
    hope this helpzz

  • TS1907 Are there any additional steps I should try?

    I have tried all of these but continue to have the problem-- i.e., some messages that I did not delete and that should be in my inbox are not appearing in my Apple mail inbox on my iMac.  The missing messages do, however, appear in my iPhone and iPad inbox.  Thanks.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then in Mail highlight the account in the Inbox that is lacking, then from the Mail>Mailbox menu item, choose Rebuild.

  • Using Airplay with AppleTV to share my MacBook Pro desktop is very unstable since upgrading to Yosemite, are there any settings I need to reconfigure?

    I used to use desktop sharing from my Macbook Pro (Late 2011, Intel Core i5) to watch videos on my TV. Since upgrading to Yosemite the stream has been unwatchable. Both visual and audio latency problems are very common. As streaming from my iOS devices is fine, I'm pretty sure it's not my WiFi setup. Has anyone had similar problems? Are there any settings I need to change to improve Airplay from Yosemite?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey MasterAir,
    If you are having an issue with AirPlay performance, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Are there any Apple package deals or grants available to universities?

    I'm part of Indiana University's student government and we are trying to implement a tablet initiative for our school. Are there any special deals or grants available to universities regarding iPads? Any comments or help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    But Apple has been known to offer all sorts of specifically negotiated deals with Universities - especially large schools with a large Apple footprint already on campus (in the form of student sales, or University corporate sales).  Some schools for example, have negotiated a special 3-year AppleCare program for computers sold through their campus Apple education store, offering a total of 4 years of coverage on Apple computers bought (so an incoming student would be covered for their whole degree program).  There have also been specials offered in some schools that might include some BTO options at the regular base-model shelf prices, again, if purchased by a student through the school's specific Apple education store.
    If some school wanted to do a large implementation of iPads, they might be able to negotiate some deal to be offered in their school-specific education store that could include some significant offerings albeit not actual price discounts.  But the OP cannot negotiate on behalf of his school as he is not an officer of the University corporation - but he can always approach University officials with an idea he'd like them to pitch to the school's Apple reps.

  • Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?

    Are there any apps which will allow local calling using data only (not minutes, no extra charge) that do not require any special numbers called out initially and does not require the receiver to have a similar app or account?  Just for random local calling.

    Yup.
    Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
    The lookup table is here for the copying:
    0
    1
    k
    kilo
    2
    M
    mega
    3
    G
    giga
    4
    T
    tera
    5
    P
    peta
    6
    E
    exa
    7
    Z
    zetta
    8
    Y
    yotta
    In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are. 
    B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
    select cell B1, copy,
    now select all the cells in column B, paste

  • Is there any way to block PR changes when PO exists in project builder

    Dear All,
    Could you please advice...is there any way to block PR changes (quantity,price, etc) when PO exists in project builder ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Nies,
    If you are not using the material then you can go for Validation, under Operative Structure> Network> Validation.
    Attach the validation with OPSA click on Automatic.
    In the second scenario if you are using Material Component, as Mr.Muralidharan said OPSG there you can restrict the change by selecting Error Message.
    1. Tcode OPSG in Setting see all the object are selected.
    2. Click on Component tab under change in Purchase Order Exist tab select Error.

  • Are there any problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination?

    Hello,
    we have a Livelink  Server database running with two replicas on two nodes as Always On Group, both instances running extended protection in "allowed" mode.
    Our company security policy demands setting the extended protection to "required".
    Are there any known problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination?
    Environment:
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise X64 SP1
    DB: SQL Server 2012 (11.0.5556.0)
    Thx & BR
    Achim

    Hi Achim,
    According to my knowledge, there are no known problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination.
    Extended Protection helps to prevent an authentication relay attack by using service binding and channel binding. We need to note that when Extended Protection is set to
    Required, only connections from protected applications on protected operating systems are accepted. This setting is the most secure but connections from operating systems or applications that do not support Extended Protection will not be able
    to connect to SQL Server. For more details, please review the following article.

  • I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4.  Are there any fixes?

    I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4.  Are there any fixes?

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

    Hi Ryota,
    sorry for the belated response. If a user is above the activity quota, they will not be able to create a new activity anymore. They will still be able to change existing activities though. Uploading new files may not be possible if the storage quota is exceeded. A user can see the current quota status in his/her settings. StreamWork administrators are not aware of the quota status of free users.
    In case of a professional or enterprise account the organization administrator can see the quota usage of each of his/her user in the administration panel. I am not aware of another notification (we assume that users will talk to their administrator).
