New support that provides automated switch over for pairs of Compaq

failed server to itself. This feature is listed in the SSD as
option line-item Compaq On-Line Recovery Server.

Added the option line-item Convert to Uniprocessor Support when

when upgrading from a single to multiprocessor-processor unit.

support.
