Hello,
I am conducting a CPU utilization testing with my box(HP DL 585 running FreeBSD 7.0), and come up with the results below:

irq31 and irq32 are consuming high CPU usage, which i think the cause of hard reset.
I read about the MSI interrupt handling for FreeBSD, and I don't know if there's a way to split the interrupt request for each bce's Rx and Tx, which means a total of four IRQs, and eventually four cores (or 4 CPU) for the transactions. With this way, the IDLE processors would be utilized.
Other ways how I can maximize the use of the IDLE CPUs?
Thanks,
Won
