your Compaq server. INTRODUCTION Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) denotes the use of multiple processors in an intraNetWare environment. Each processor has equal access to system resources, including system interrupts, memory, I/O bus and peripheral support. SMP provides more processing power, often - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 4
NetWare 4.11 SMP, the LAN driver interrupts are moved to the secondary processors, reducing the load on the boot processor and making more capacity available for other functions. Server environments that support multiple LAN segments and maintain high processor utilization are most likely to benefit - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 5
are the Platform Support Module (PSM) and the MP driver. The MP driver activates the secondary processors (processors beyond the boot processor). The PSM is provided by the hardware vendor in order for the SMP kernel to communicate with the processors. The PSM that Compaq supplies for intranetWare - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 6

Select CPQSMP.PSM from Compaq MP driver, MPDRIVER.NLM, once for each secondary processor (any processor beyond the boot processor).

(NetWare NLMs) to be minimally affected by the SMP aware applications. The boot processor is dedicated to NetWare. Even when extra CPU time is available, SMP aware applications cannot use the boot processor to service SMP application calls. When an SMP aware application makes a NetWare call, the - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 8
boot processor. This mode should be used when the file server activity does not need priority service and the SMP aware application could benefit from more processing power.

The minimum requirement - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 9

Next, modify the primary operating system in the Compaq System Configuration Utility: 1. Run the Compaq restart the server. You may start MONITOR.NLM from the server console to - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 10

If the secondary processors are being utilized, your system is running SMP aware applications. TROUBLESHOOTING - HP ProLiant 1200 | intraNetWare Symmetric Multiprocessing - Page 11
