Adding Second processor


If a second CPU is added to a server, will RHEl 4 and RHEl 5recognize it automatically on the next boot? Should I update the kernel?

Hi, if your kernel is SMP enabled, it should automatically take into account the other CPU. If it is not, at worst you'll need to recompile it, at best only install a new SMP enabled one using the package manager.
