To make use of MuitiCore/Dual Core or Hyper-Threading on an
OpenServer 5.0.7 system you will need to:
1) Install the SCO OpenServer Symmetrical Multiprocessing
product from the OpenServer 5.0.7 Base Operating System
Installation CD.
Please Note: If you only have a single physical CPU on your
machine you can defer licensing. An SMP License is only
required for each additional physical CPU on your system.
Logical (Hyper threaded) CPUs do not require an SMP
License.
2) Install the SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 Maintenance Pack 5
Images. You can get these images from:
http://www.sco.com/support/update/download/release.php?rid=186
3) MultiCore and DualCore are enabled by default whereas Hyper-
Threading is disabled by default.
To enable it, you can either edit your boot defbootstr with:
"smp.ht=yes|no"
"smp.mc=yes|no"
or install without this functionality and add post-installtion in:
/etc/default/boot
and add for HyperThreading:
smp.ht=yes
to this file.
Multicore/Dual Core can be disabled with:
smp.mc=no
4) Reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
If you want to check on the status of your logical CPUs
once the system has been rebooted type:
cpuonoff -c
