dual amd quad core 16G Ram

I'm setting up a server.  I have dual quad core with 16G of ram.  I'm
looking to run 4.4.

the fallowing line in change list:
Make amd64 machines be able to use more than 4G ram, and crank the MAXDSIZ
to allow allocations/mmap() up to 8G

Is this per cpu not core?

Thanks

Dell T105 - Opteron 1210 1.8ghz DMESG

Howdy,

I know that the website states dmesgs for systems running bsd.mp would be
appreciated.  This is my dmesg from a dell t105, the onboard network card is
turned off, I'm getting kernel panics with it on, so I'm currently working
that issue.  Here's my dmesg:

SMP for Sparc 64

Hi everybody,

I'm a sysadmin at the Politecnico di Torino (University in Italy) and I was going to put OpenBSD on 
my Sun Fire v210 with two Ultra SPARC III, when I discovered that it doesen't support SMP.

I know that OpenBSD will work on that machine even if only one CPU will be used, but before 
installing it I would like to know your roadmap for the SMP support on Sparc64.
I won't use OpenBSD on the server unless the support for the second CPU is likely to be introduced 
with the november release.
Are you planning to add SMP for Sparc64 within some months or it is a matter of years?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

NN

mpbios NForce4 SATA

Hi all,

I've been trying to get a SATA hard disk to run on an ASUS P5ND2-SLI motherboard with an Intel Pentium D 3.2 XE.
Everything works fine if I use the normal amd64 bsd kernel however if I use the SMP kernel I get problems
attaching the the SATA hard disk, eventually causing the kernel to hang. It just displays:

wd2(pciide1:1:0): timeout
type:ata
c_bcount: 512
c_skip: 0

I noticed in sys/arch/amd64/amd64/mpbios_intr_fixup.c there has been code introuced to try and fix
this, which wasnt being run on my board. I forced it to fun the NForce4 fixup routine and thus it does now call
nforce4_mpbios_fixup() although maybe not correctly? but this does not seem to have helped.

I have found someone with a very similar problem at
http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-bugs/2005-11/msg00047.html .
Unfortuantly I cant get a dmesg as the board has no serial connection, but I have got a standard single proc dmesg...

Does anyone have any further ideas?

Thanks
Chris

gdt and smp = bug

Hi.

 I have machine - on Intel 7500VW2 with 2 Xeon. And I have
Intel SRCZCR RAID controller there.
 So, with uniprocessor kernel it's recognized and work fine.

 With multiprocessor kernel (earlier, without changes) loading goes
until
pctr: user-level cycle counter enabled
sd0(gdt0:0:0): timed out
sd0(gdt0:0:0): timed out
sd0(gdt0:0:0): timed out
...
I'm a little despair... But here is dmesg from uniproc, maybe it helps
somewhat. And I will be glad if someone explain this...

Re: SMP on IBM eseriesand amd64

Sorry for wasting your time, but I sent some info about our firewall
        which you needed to see where is bottleneck. Did somebody found
        something usefull there ? It would help us too much to speed up
        mour
        firewall, we choosed openBSD even ehen company which made our
        network
        wanted to sell PIX. We do not like PIX and we want to make a
        proof that
        we can do better things on openbsd than on PIX. But now it is
        very
        slow :(

        So do you thing that if we will change system to i386 SP, it
        will be
        quicker? I am not talking about 10% of speed. I think this
        system is
        ready to cary min. 6 times more packets/sec (see my previous
        mail). 

        Thanx for any answer. Maybe this is not good list and it should
        be
        directed to tech@ too ?

        Lukas Macura.

        Ps: Long time ago we used linux and iptables, but pf.conf is
        great !
        Thanx to all for great work! I do not want to use something else
        than
        pf :)

SMP on IBM eseriesand amd64

Hello all,

please we have little problem with openbsd runing on $SUBJ.
I think there could be better irq routing. But I don't know how to
achieve this. In BIOS, I cannot change IRQ for anything. Every device in
this server is on same IRQ. I really don't know why but I cannot change
this. When I boot linux on this machine, IRQ routing is OK, probably
bacause linux know how to change IRQ of devices.

I do not understand what is difference between int and irq in dmesg.
Sorry, I am not expert for this. But reality is, that on OpenBSD, only
one CPU is used. Probably because all interrupts are routed thru this
CPU. Second CPU is still idle. 

Please can somebody help me what to do to utilise second CPU? We need
more bandwidth and we want to use one NIC/one IRQ. So it shuold bring
better CPU utilisation. Am I right?

Thanks to all,
Lukas Macura

SMP on Proliant 800

Hello

I can't get SMP to work on my old Proliant 800 server (dmesg below). I
have installed OpenBSD 3.8 release, and also tried 3.8 current (date
03/29/06). After searching on google and in the archives I stumbled upon
a post from Jason Haag about a problem with a Proliant 800 not
recognising memory above 16Mb. He included his dmesg, and it's similar
to mine, except he has SMP working, and I don't.
http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-misc/2005-09/msg00471.html

I'm running the latest bios from HP/Compaq available for my system
(Compaq Proliant 800 (P2) V4.08a dated 4/19/2000). I also tried the
system configuration utility, but there was nothing I could configure
regarding SMP.

Am I missing something here? A pointer in the right direction would be
greatly appreciated.

regards

Marco
