Product Description
Oracle''s Sun Fire X4270 M3 server, powered by two of the highest performing CPUs from the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, is the ideal system for clustered databases and virtualized business applications. This server uses a 2U enclosure and is available in three flexible chassis configurations, offering superior scalability with terabytes of storage and six PCIe 3.0 expansion slots. The four onboard 10 GbE ports provide ten times faster network throughput than 1 GbE ports and reduce cabling, increase data throughput and save PCIe slots for other peripherals. System performance and power efficiency are maximized with flash storage options that deliver high I/O performance and reduced energy consumption.

Config Notes

Install: SLES OS installation was performed by using a virtual DVD device.
The driver "i40e" that was used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from "intel-i40e-2.1.26-20.1.x86_64.rpm" and "intel-i40e-kmp-default-2.1.26_k4.4.21_69-20.1.x86_64.rpm". To obtain the driver package, access to https://sso.hds.com and click on "Support Connect", then select "Product Downloads". RPM can be used to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server(SLES) to the SAN storage, and driver package can be installed after the SLES installation.
The driver "megaraid_sas" that was used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from "lsi-megaraid_sas-kmp-default-07.704.04.00_k4.4.21_69-6.1.x86_64.rpm". To obtain the driver package, access to https://sso.hds.com and click on "Support Connect", then select "Product Downloads". RPM can be used to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server(SLES) to the SAN storage, and driver package can be installed after the SLES installation.
All ports of Intel XXV710-DA2 Ethernet Network Adapters were tested at 25Gb/s speed.
