Config Notes
- lnstall: System installed using PXE network install; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Disk configuration: SSD RAID 10, HDD RAID 5. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with and requires the following additional load parameters: dom0_mem=128G dom0_max_vcpus=16 (parameters are required, specific values can be changed).
- SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to the SLES 12 SP4 FV guest. One of the Intel Ethernet Connection X722 for 1GbE adapters was used in this testing.
