Two physically separate CPUs for Linux vs. one dual-core CPU

[Former Member]

In the document "Installation.Guide.SAP.NetWeaver.SR1.pdf", under "3.2.2 Hardware requirements for Linux" (PDF page 38 of 108), a mention is made to the fact that "Your installation host must have at least two CPUs" - does that mean 2 physically separate CPUs have to exist, or does a dual-core CPU do the job here?

Hi Dan

This section has been reformulated to "The recommended minimum hardware is either two physical single core processors or one physical dual core processor." in the more recent installation guides. So a Dual-Core will do the job as well, also for installations shipped before Netweaver 7.0

I hope this helps
