Product Description
The IBM® System x3650 M4 blends outstanding uptime, performance and I/O flexibility for cost efficiency and rock-solid reliability. The powerful server offers an energy-smart, affordable, and easy-to-use rack solution with a pay-as-you-grow design to help lower costs and manage risks. With more computing power per watt and Intel® Xeon® E5 v2 processors, advanced memory support, and greater disk capacity for businesses requiring extreme storage, the x3650 M4 offers balanced performance and density. With redundant hot-swap fans, disks and power supplies, the x3650 M4 provides a resilient architecture ideal for business-critical applications.

Config Notes
- Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Hard Drive Configuration: RAID 6. Tested as a 1-node scalable partition with 2 Compute Books. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted and requires the following additional parameters: dom0_mem=16G dom0_max_vcpus=4 (the parameters are required, but the specific values can be changed).
- Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to "crashkernel=197M,high crashkernel=132M,low" using YaST.
- VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows Server 2016 drivers are available from http://download.suse.com (VMDP-WIN-2.4.exe).
- SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to the SLES 12 SP3 FV guest. One of the VFA5 ML2 10GbE SFP+ adapters was used in this testing.
