[cisco-voip] CUCM 6.1 Upgrade and IBM MCS

[Erick Bergquist]

Maybe this will help (maybe not), the one time I've worked on a IBM
motherboard replacement the IBM tech had to program a MTM value in
when they swapped it and from my understanding that value tells what
type of processor, etc the motherboard has. I was told this was
important to have set right and maybe if it is set wrong that is why
the install may be picking up something else for the CPU. However, I
do not know how to set it or check it without a IBM tech doing it.

HTH, Erick
