Adding a second processor

I’m running Sles 10 but I figure it wont matter much. Here is the issue. Running Vmware ESX -> Sles 10. I’ve added a second processor to my Sles 10 VM. However it only shows 1 CPU. Being relativity new to Linux is there an easy way get the second CPU support?

Tks all.

first, i think if you are running SLES you have a support agreement
with Novell, and probably ought to seek aid vaah that avenue…for
one thing, because we here are USERS of openSUSE and many of us
consider ourselves a novice at this “Linux thing”…

and, i can therefore guarantee you that you will get plenty of
helpful folks telling you plenty of MAYBE helpful hints…

i’d give you a URL or address to contact, but i suppose you should
have that somewhere, along with a user id and support agreement
number, or something that you NEED in order to get in the dDoor…

second: i think you might have to install a different kernel…but,
i’d have no idea how you need to go about doing that…

third: on the other hand, with a little patience i’m sure that
someone who KNOWS how to solve your problem will happen along…as
will someone who knows the address to tap for REAL, paid for, help…

… except for the fact that you’ll probably get better help on forums.novell.com :slight_smile:
This server here is for Opensuse only, the free of charge version of Suse Linux.

{Chuckle} My first thought was… do you have a second processor to give
it? Trying to emulate two (or more) processors on a single processor host…
uh… don’t think that’s going to work at all.

My experience with VMWare was always that you could edit the configuration of
the “virtual machine” as long as the machine wasn’t running. I started with
VMWare when it first came out and was $49.95, used it up until version 6 came
out, and then suddenly realized I didn’t have a real need for it, since the
open source virtualizers were just as featureful (and more!). {Shrug} Go
figure!
