My original post asked if it was possible to build a dual processor system from
two mono processor systems. Basically it is possible if the Mbus processors
are of the same clock rate and have cache. There are no O/S changes needed
to make this work.

Commands to know:

/usr/sbin/psrinfo -v

/usr/sbin/psradm

The FAQ from this group and USENET Comp.sys.sun.admin also have very good info:

And for hard core hardware info check out the Sun Hardware FAQ,

Thanks for all the help,
