Enabling Multiple CPU Cores for the SCP VM

SCP requires multi-core enablement. These steps match B0700VM section "Enabling Multiple CPU Cores on Non I/A Series (Off-MESH) Stations."

1. Add or increase the number of virtual CPUs for the virtual machine as follows:

   1. Make sure the virtual machine is shut down.

   2. Open the virtual machine Settings windows.

      

   3. Select the Processor selection.

      

   4. From the Virtual CPU drop-down menu, set the number of virtual CPUs to 4.

   5. Click Apply and close the window.

2. Enable the use of multiple CPUs in the operating system.

   This step is applicable if using the restore DVD (part number K0174JS).

   6. Boot the virtual machine.

   7. Invoke a command prompt with administrator privileges.

   8. Click Start.

   9. Click All Programs > Accessories.

   10. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

   11. In the command prompt, type the following and press Enter: bcdedit /set onecpu off

   12. After successful completion, reboot the virtual machine.

   Note: Using multiple CPUs on a virtual machine will decrease the maximum number of virtual machines available on a V90 server virtualization host. See the I/A Series Virtualization User’s Guide (B0700VM) section on "Sizing Requirements for Load Balancing V90 Server Virtualization Host with Virtual Machines and Software".
