X5-2 core key
Hi everyone!
We were in the process of reimaging the nodes of an X5-2 system (with the latest bundle patch available at the time, 12.1.2.10.0). In this system, which by the way was originally in 12.1.2.8.0, we had already limited the core count, via the core key, to two per node.
Node 0 went well, but while trying to reimage node 1, we had a problem, and in the end the motherboard had to be replaced. Afterwards, we were able to do the reimage succesfully, as well as upgrade the server and storage components on both nodes to 12.1.2.10.0.
Then, we re-deployed the nodes sucessfully, they're up and running, but there's a mismatch in the visible cores en each node: in node 0, there are the 2 cores, so the OS "sees" 4 cpus (as expected), but in node 1, the OS reports 72 cpus (so the 36 cores are available; I guess this is due to the motherboard being replaced, please correct me if wrong).
