I'm not sure which version you tested this on, but seems that it defaulted the SND cores automatically. I have learnt to use&nbsp;<STRONG>cpmq set rx_num all default</STRONG> to allocate the remaining cores for SND that are "leftovers" from the CoreXL affinity command.</P> Mon, 17 May 2021 05:33:53 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118477#M21746 Lari_Luoma 2021-05-17T05:33:53Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118482#M21747 <P>The video is made on an R80.30 with the 3.10 Kernel. I believe its complaining if running cpmq and refering to run mq_mng instead. In this case the MultiQ was set to auto so yes it should pick up the leftovers <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Mon, 17 May 2021 06:07:50 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118482#M21747 Magnus-Holmberg 2021-05-17T06:07:50Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118499#M21748 <P>Great video! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>My only note would be that most modern CP appliances have hypethreading enabled by default so don't be alarmed when you see that your SND / MQ has cores 0,1,8,9 for example on 16 core system allocated. That's expected behaviour as you MUST allocate CPU siblings both to CoreXL and SND cores.</P> <P>You have it explained in the article I wrote, that's mentioned in the video <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Mon, 17 May 2021 09:32:42 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118499#M21748 Kaspars_Zibarts 2021-05-17T09:32:42Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118508#M21749 <P>Agreed See&nbsp; below for 15600:</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Capture.PNG" style="width: 636px;"><img src="https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/11696iF879A6089AD70408/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 17 May 2021 10:03:28 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/VSX-How-to-change-the-number-of-SND-cores/m-p/118508#M21749 genisis__ 2021-05-17T10:03:28Z
