Dear Sirs
I have a ML370 G4 server with 1 CPU Intel (R) Xeon (TM) 3.60GHz and 2GB of RAM with operating system CentOS 4.7 and kernel 2.6.9-78.0.22.ELsmp
We have acquired 1 CPU and 2 GB of RAM additional to improve the functioning of the server, my question is whether the current kernel can support the addition of hardware or if I need a new kernel or install any additional software.
Thanks

Should work flawlessl after installing the additional CPU and memory; maybe you want to check the server vendor's support pages for BIOS upgrades, there may be newer versions. As you have to take the machine out of service anyways, this is a good time to check this, too.
(OTOH: Never touch an running system, so if it finds all the memory and CPU installed additionally and there's nothing noted in the BIOS changelog, you can ignore it.)
HTH,
Timo

If you are running a SMP kernel then it should be able to run either 2 or 4 CPUs without any reconfiguration. Run the command uname -a to see what type and version you are currently running. Bo Lynch
Hi
This is the result of uname -a
[root@ml370 ~]# uname -a Linux ml370.qnet.com.pe 2.6.9-78.0.22.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Apr 30 19:14:39 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
And with the increase of RAM to 4GB? would not have problems with this kernel?
Thanks

Not that I can see. You are running an SMP kernel.

You might not be able to see and access the entire 4GB on a 32-bit system because part of your system memory (up to 512MB) will be reserved for periperal use. Not sure whether or not CentOS has PAE enabled by default, but you'll see that when you first boot the upgraded system.
Either way it'll still work just fine.
