Is there a way to check whether node interleaving is enabled from within Windows on a Dell R710? omreport chassis biossetup
doesn't appear to print any NUMA-related settings on the server I'm looking at.

Install Dell OpenManage Server Administrator on the server?– joeqwertyJan 24, 2013 at 14:33

I don't see it mentioned in OpenManage either, but maybe I overlooked something.– James LupoltJan 24, 2013 at 15:13

I saw this old question today and remembered that I had overlooked it in the output of omreport chassis biossetup
. The setting is named, unsurprisingly, Node Interleaving. However, in omconfig
, it's named NUMA. These terms can get rather confusing when changing the setting.
Disable node interleaving (enable NUMA):
omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numa setting=disabled
Enable node interleaving (disable NUMA and change back to an SMP-like UMA mode):
omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=numa setting=enabled
If this sounds odd, then you probably read it correctly. Yes, you set attribute=numa to disabled to turn on NUMA.
