Hey, I have been working for sometime on making a game control panel on Red Hat 9. It is on a pretty simple "server" it only has 1 processor and a big HD as well as 1 ethernet device.
I was wondering what the differences were when you run a server that functions on 2 or more CPU's (processors) and more then 1 Hard Drive with more then 1 external IP address.
How is all that done? Is it usually detected by linux or do you need to do anything differently for, say, for srcds to get the benefit of having 2 cpu's. And how do you configure your network with assinging more then 1 ip to a single server. (I've read the tut on this site about that.) and also how is differnet using 2 hd's?
I am just wondering so I can get an idea of the differences and allow srcds (and hlds) to take full advantage if I had a server that had these things, rather then have them but not be used.
My big question though is how do you configure a server to take advantage of 2 Cpu processors?
