RE: [Xen-users] Adding more vCPUs to Windows 2003 standard, from 2 to 4
Yes. You heed to shutdown. A reboot will not re-read the config file.

These two servers are installed so that they did have 2 processors set
since from first boot and Windows device managers shows ACPI
multiprocessor PC so i am assuming Windows should discover new processors
automagicly?

Here is my xm info output:

Also did check apic and acpi, they are on, eg. apic=1 and acpi=1
One question that might explain this problem, as servers were rebooted
using Windows shutdown - reboot command, maybe its needed to bring them
down completely or is standard reboot from Windows start menu enough?
