Ray,
I suggest he's hosing you.
If you look in Device Mangler under computer, a dual processor machine
should show a multiprocessor HAL - otherwise it says uniprocessor and you
need to replace the HAL.
Another option is in Task Manager - view/CPU history/one graph per CPU.
One or the other is wrong if it's a dual processor machine showing only one
graph.
That being said, I'm not familiar with "bridging" - I may learn something
here!
Re: licensing - I'd open them up and count the processors. I don't think
that "bridging", if it exists, allows you to get around a per processor
license. Another way to check is to look at the invoices.
Let us know...
HTH,
Mark

Subject: [windows2000] Two processors as one
Hi list,
So, we got a few servers recently for some SQL stuff, and the guys who
handle the hardware side of things say that these servers all have two
processors but they're "bridged" or something to appear as one. In the
task manager, only one processor shows up. I've never heard of
"bridging" processors or anything like that. Is this guy just making
stuff up, or is this something that can be done? The servers are Compaq
Proliant DL380s, which I see can be purchased with two processors.

html What I'm getting at though, which I didn't really intend to ask
here, is that if these servers are twin processor servers with them
"bridged" or whatever, how many per-processor SQL licenses would we
need? One or two?
Thanks a lot,
Ray at work
