Software Application Considerations

Some software applications size themselves based on the number of available processors when the application is started. Therefore, it may be necessary to do one of the following for optimal performance with this type of application:

restart the application in order for it to recognize the presence of newly activated processors
reconfigure the application, prior to it being restarted, for maximum performance benefits of the newly activated processor
use the deferred activation option when activating processors so that processors are only activated in conjunction with system reboots - see the manpage icod_modify(1M) for details
use the offline activation method when activating processors - see “Understanding Online vs. Offline Activation Methods” for details




	IMPORTANT: When you activate a processor, the number of active processors in the system increases. Consequently this may require a license upgrade for some of the software on your system. A license may be required for HP-UX, HP-supplied software, or software from other application providers.
