OPt 81

[blue31]

I am going to switch cores on a opt 81 rls 4.
I think it is in ld 135 and do scpu.
Can someone if that all i need to do.

 

[GHTROUT]

I often run

>LD 135

.test cpu

then wait for the dot, then

.scpu

when you do scpu, the box will test the stnadby side, it will not switch into a cpu that not talking..

why do you need to scpu?

I have been running on CPU 1 for several months.

The newer processors don't need to be swapped like the old ones. Nortel kinda figured out that swapping processors doesn't really do anything, because the idle processor is really redundant now and IS working. Swapping just makes the system burp at midnight.

if you really want your cores to swap you have to change that in your system. But like DocVic states with the new processors, they really are truly redundant.

Thank You all for the information.
Happy Holidays.

Nortel did change their initial position, and does recommend swapping processors during the midnight routines.

What bugged me about keeping on one side is that your backup to the SD card is only on that side. People figure they have redundant SD backups, but they do not if the cores never swap.

You can also run into a situation where something is wrong with the standby, and it will not swap properly if anything goes wrong with the active.

This can go unnoticed, unless you are diligent in checking your health all the time.
