Hi,
If you have chance I recommend you to upgrade your system to v4 because v3 has max cpu limit upto 8.
New kernel (2.6) has many advantages [1], anyway I recommend rhel v4 :)

| I installed Redhat Advanced Server 3.0 update 5  into the 8 way machine.
| Now we upgraded the machine to 16 way without reinstalling the OS.
| 
| Whether the linux kernel will scale to 16 processors from 8  or is there 
| any need for any configuration changes?
| The machine is not showing enough performance when it is scaled to 16 
| way with the same OS.
| 
| Whether I have to reinstall the OS to take up the changes?
