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).
Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
SUSE SolidDriver Compliant: The be2net network driver used during testing was installed from the following driver update disk (DUD): elx-be2net_10.0.727.54-be2iscsi_10.0.727.62-lpfc_10.0.727.20-sles11sp3-1.iso. This DUD should be downloaded and installed during the SLES install. To obtain the driver go to: http://drivers.suse.com/driver-process/pub/update/Emulex/sle11sp3/common/DUD/dud_lpfc_10.0.727.20_be2net_10.0.727.54_be2iscsi_10.0.727.62/ .
Kdump: Crash kernel dump and capture does not function properly on this system due to the Emulex network adapter, and is therefore not supported.
