Config Notes

Install: The SLES install was performed using a virtual DVD device.
This is SAN Boot only system.
The driver "htc-hfcldd" that was used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from the driver update disk(DUD) "dud-htc-hfcldd-4.12.20.4110.iso" and the driver package "htc-hfcldd-kmp-default-4.12.20.4110_3.12.49_11-1.sles12sp1.x86_64.rpm". To obtain the DUD and the driver package, go to https://sso.hds.com and click on "Support Connect", then select "Product Downloads". The 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.
The driver "ixgbevf" that was used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver ixgbevf uses Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express Family of Server Adapters and the driver package name is "intel-ixgbevf-3.2.2-2.1.x86_64.rpm" and "intel-ixgbevf-kmp-default-3.2.2_k3.12.49_11-2.1.x86_64.rpm". This driver package can be downloaded and installed after the SLES12 install. To obtain the DUD and the driver package, go to https://sso.hds.com and click on "Support Connect", then select "Product Downloads".
The Intel Ethernet Server Adapter X520-2 (Dual Port) is the physical adapter in the system. The Intel 82599EN 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller is the adapter that is presented to the VM and tested during virtualization testing.
The maximum CPU cores or threads when hyper threading is enabled that can be allocated to LPAR is 240.
