SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 15 for AMD64 & Intel64 with XEN |
Product Description
With outstanding redundancy, Fujitsu
PRIMEQUEST 1800E2 provides the high uptime
required from true enterprise platforms. The
heart of the server, the system boards
including CPUs and memory modules, can be
instantly recovered on failure, enabling
smooth operation of mission-critical
workloads. In fact, almost every component
can be redundantly configured.
Under the strict quality standards in Fujitsus
production processes - from server design to
manufacturing and quality assurance Fujitsu
PRIMEQUEST can dramatically reduce failure
rates.
Using Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family and
Fujitsus super fast I/O technologies, Fujitsu
PRIMEQUEST 1800E2 has already hit
high-ranked performance scores in the large
systems server arena. This is further proof that
Fujitsu can deliver best-matched products,
conforming to open systems standards that
handle enterprise workloads.
Based on state-of-the art technologies such as
smart cooling, Intel processors and other
components Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 1800E2
provides cost-efficiency in the
enterprise server arena. It also reduces data
center costs by lowering power consumption
and minimizing the server footprint.

Config Notes
- VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES 11 SP3 drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.1.exe), and the virtio drivers was used.
- SUSE Driver Kit: The ibm_x6-sle11sp3-x86_64 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: http://drivers.suse.com/ibm/IBM-X6/sle11-sp3/install-readme.html.
- Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
- PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where two of the host network adapters were given, one each, to a SLES 11 SP3 i586 guest and a SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. Two adapters (ports) from the Intel® I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapter was used during this testing.
- 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.
- Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: RAID 0 and RAID 1.
