SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 11 for AMD64 & Intel64 Service Pack 3 for SUSE® SLES 11

Product Description
PRIMERGY BladeFrame BF400 S2 are extremely reliable, high-availability systems and are very suitable for mid-volume and high-end requirements in critical business IT projects. The BF400 S2 chassis has space for up to 24 Processing Blades (pBlades) as well as redundant Control (cBlades) and Switch Blades (sBlades). The system contains a built-in BladePlane which provides the physical connections for the I/O of the Processing Blades as well as the communication to the network, the storage systems and the pwer distribution. In conjunction with the cBlades and the sBlades the chassis replaces the Fiber Channel, Gigabit Ethernet Switches as well as the power connections of a normal server architecture. PRIMERGY BladeFrame systems combine the benefits of stateless servers with powerful virtualization and management software which virtualizes the processor, storage and network resources. Systems can thus be configured and the required resources allocated within only a few minutes. This architecture means that a pool of servers can be created instead of allocating dedicated applications to a particular system.

Config Notes

The driver be2net.ko used during testing is not SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from the following driver package: elx-be2net-dd-sles11-10.0.800.0-1.tar.gz. This driver package can be downloaded and installed after the SLES install. To obtain the driver go to: http://www.emulex.com/downloads/emulex/drivers/linux/sles-11/previous-releases/feb2014rt100/
This is a SAN boot only system.
The driver htc-hfcldd.ko used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from the driver update disk(DUD) "dud-htc-hfcldd-4.11.17.2166.iso" and the driver package "htc-hfcldd-kmp-default-4.11.17.2166_3.0.76_0.11-1.sles11sp3.x86_64.rpm". To obtain DUD and the driver package log onto : https://portal.hds.com. The Hitachi customer has to be a member of "HDS support portal" to access the driver for download. DUD can be used to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server(SLES) to the SAN storage, and driver package can be installed after the SLES installation. To install SLES to the SAN storage, refer to the document "Hitachi Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter Users Guide(SLES Driver Edition)" on https://portal.hds.com
Install: The SLES install was performed using a virtual DVD device.
