I need a rather quick answer to this, so will ask the question while
continuing googling:
I've just upgraded the memory on an HP/Compaq DL380 G4 server running
RHEL5, from 4GB to 6GB. But Red Hat only sees 4GB.
A quick google tells me that I either need to install the kernel-PAE
package, or the hugemem kernel. Is that correct? Yum shows me that
kernel-PAE is available, but not kernel-hugemem.
This server runs Oracle and is quite important to the business, so I
can't just "have a go" and hope upgrading the kernel doesn't break
anything.
Any advice on this will be appreciated very much.
