SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

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

Product Description
The PRIMERGY RX350 S7 is a 4U rack server with maximum levels of performance, expandability and availability. It combines the performance of Intel® Xeon® E5 processor with up to two 6GB general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) for computationally intensive applications. The new modular concept supports exellent expandability with up to 24 hard disk drives, up to 10 PCIe Gen 3 cards and up to 768GB memory. Moreover the 4 hot-plug, power supply units with up to 94% efficiency and the new power management, will result in lower operational costs. Thanks to the upgrade kits as well as the cost-saving Modular LAN options, the RX350 is prepared for future requirements. RX350 is ideal for database, consolidation or high performance computing scenarios.

Config Notes

Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were changed based on the content in the following knowledge-base article for ppc64le: https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3374462
Headless configuration - no graphics adapter. System configured using IBM remote Hardware Management Console (HMC) for graphics, keyboard and mouse.
Install: The SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server install was performed using a network install method.
CPU: This system is 2 CPU socket configuration with 24 core dual chip module per socket, totalling 48 cores. The Power10 3.9 GHz (Max) DCM CPUs tested each have 24 cores and with SMT8 totalling 384 vCPU threads.
Power management: The System/Processor dynamic CPU frequency scaling functionality in SLES is not supported on Power10 (PowerVM) as this functionality is provided by the Power10 hardware itself.
