Configure Dual 4-Socket Server to Single 8-Socket Server (CRU)
-
Ensure that all eight CMODs have identical processors and memory installed. The system will not power on if CMODs have different configurations. See Oracle X8-8 CPU Packages.
In an 8-socket configuration, System A must have Intel Xeon 81xx series processors installed, and System A and System B processor SKUs and memory (capacity and number of DIMMs per CMOD) must be identical.
-
Resolve all open problems in the server, server components, and chassis.
The following procedure describes how to configure a dual 4-socket system (2x4) to a single 8-socket system (1x8).
