SMP
If you do not install intraNetWare SMP using the SmartStart installation utility,
intranetWare/NetWare 4.11 will automatically detect multiple processors during initial
installation and give you the option to install SMP.
If you choose this option,
intraNetWare/NetWare 4.11 suggests that you install the PSM driver, CPQSMP.PSM.
However, if you add an additional processor board to an existing non-SMP server, you must use
the intraNetWare/NetWare 4.11 INSTALL module to install intraNetWare/NetWare 4.11 SMP.
Be sure to have the License diskette available.
NOTE
:
The server must be configured with NetWare 4.1
SMP/intraNetWare SMP as the primary operating
system in the System Configuration Utility.
1.
Boot the server into the System Configuration Utility.
2.
Select the "Configure Hardware" option.
3.
Select the "Review or modify hardware settings" option.
4.
Select the "View or edit details" option.

MP Driver
During installation, the following commands are automatically added to STARTUP.NCF.
LOAD CPQSMP.PSM
LOAD SMP.NLM
LOAD MPDRIVER.NLM ALL
The last command loads the MP driver, MPDRIVER.NLM, once for each secondary processor
(any processor beyond the boot processor). If you wish to use only selected secondary processors,
