ISSUE: 

DESCRIPTION  
After installing NetWare 5.1 using the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 6 Overlay CD or
NetWare 6.0 using the NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 3 Overlay CD on a
multi-processor ProLiant server, multiple processors will not be utilized by
NetWare. This problem also occurs after applying the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 6
or the NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 3.

This problem occurs because the following files, which are needed for support
of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Platform Support Module for
NetWare (CPQACPI.PSM), are written to an incorrect location on the server by
the Support Pack:

CPQASL.NLM 
CPQACPWR.NLM 
CPQACMGR.NLM
Note: This issue does not occur when installing NetWare using a SmartStart
Assisted Path installation.

 
SCOPE  
Any multi-processor ProLiant server that is receiving an installation of
NetWare 5.1 using the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 6 Overlay CD or NetWare 6.0
using the NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 3 Overlay CD, or any multi-processor
ProLiant server that is running NetWare 5.1 and receiving an installation of
the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 6 or running NetWare 6.0 and receiving an
installation of the NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 3.
