Verification of Upgrade Installation

After completing the upgrade, verify that the sever is ready for operation as follows:

Step 1. Reconnect AC power to rear panel connectors.

Step 2. Power on the server, and get to the server firmware main menu.

NOTE If Autoboot is enabled, interrupt the Autoboot process to access the server firmware

main menu.

Step 3. Type info warnings in the server main menu. If warnings display, take appropriate actions.

Step 4. Type the Info CPU command and verify two logical processors display for each processor installed.

Shell> info cpu

PROCESSOR MODULE INFORMATION

# of L3 L4 Family/

CPU Logical Cache Cache Model Processor

Module CPUs Speed Size Size (hex.) Rev State

------ ------- -------- ------ ------ ------- --- ------------

0 2 1.4 GHz 6 MB None 20/00 B0 Active

1 2 1.4 GHz 6 MB None 20/00 B0 Active

CPU threads are turned off.

Step 5. Use the cpu config command to enable threads (optional).

Shell> cpuconfig threads on

cpuconfig: CPU threads will be on after a reset.

NOTE Threading provides thread-level parallelism on each processor, resulting in more

efficient use of processor resources, higher processing throughput, and improved

performance on multithreaded software.

Step 6. Type the Info CPU command and verify four logical processors display for each processor

installed.
