Re: [CentOS] Centos 4.7 supports two CPUs?

Hello people

I currently have a ML370 G4 server with a CPU in centos 4.7, this server has the ability to add another CPU.

the question is, Centos can recognize the second CPU? and if so, is there any special configuration to be performed.

Just need a SMP kernel if you don't have one already (run uname -a and look for the 'smp' tag). You can do cat /proc/cpuinfo to see, you may already have a SMP kernel if it's a 370, I suspect the system is probably hyperthreaded which will trigger the installer to install a SMP kernel during installation.

Beyond that no special configuration. CentOS 5.x I believe doesn't have a distinction between SMP and non SMP, all kernels are SMP aware.
