Config Notes

SUSE Driver Kit: The lenovo_x6_and_m5-sle11sp3-x86_64-1.0.iso driver kit is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver kit was installed during the SLES install process as an initial bootable iso image. This driver must be downloaded and installed before the SLES install. To obtain the driver go to: https://drivers.suse.com/lenovo/Lenovo-System-x-X6-M5/sle-11-sp3-x86_64/1.0/install-readme.html.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameter in the elilo.conf file was changed from 128 to 256 (crashkernel:512M-:256M) for kdump to function correctly.
Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader configuration. Maintenance update: SLES 11 SP3 Xen maintenance update 10560 and kernel update 10549 (x86-64) are required and were installed during certification testing. Hard disk configuration: separate RAID 0. Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books.
VM Driver Pack: All FV guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.2.exe).
PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where one of the host network adapters was given to the SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. One of the Broadcom BCM5720 GbE adapters was used during this testing.
