Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX4770 M1 is an industry-standard x86 system with four sockets, providing superior levels of performance, scalability and efficiency. This combination turns the server into the ideal platform for running databases and transactional applications, business intelligence (BI) workloads, back-end and in-memory databases, as well as data-intensive applications. Plus, it substantially simplifies carrying out infrastructure-related tasks like server virtualization and consolidation. Featuring the Intel® Xeon® processor E7-4800 v2 product family with up to 60 cores dramatically increase the compute performance and deliver more efficient business results. With up to triple the previous generation’s memory capacity, the system can easily handle complex, data-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases and real-time business analytics. The PRIMERGY RX4770 M1 support 12 Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller with optional FBU and up to eight hot-plug storage drives providing faster access to more data. An onboard dual-channel 10 Gbit/s Ethernet controller, plus eleven PCI-Express Gen3 slots help to increase bandwidth for even faster time to business insights. With built-in redundancy and hot-pluggable components, as well as advanced business-critical RAS features such as Resilient System- and Memory Technologies, the RX4770 M1 provides higher availability and uptime. Virtualization and consolidation of IT resources offers many benefits, but often also leads to increased expenses for server administration. Thus the PRIMERGY RX4770 M1 delivers state-of-the-art management capabilities with the new integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC S4) offering a variety of user-friendly functions to ensure a faster and more cost-effective infrastructure management, no matter whether the server is located in the server-room next door or in another part of the world.

Config Notes

Install: The SLES install was performed using a virtual DVD device.
The driver "htc-hfcldd" used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from the driver update disk(DUD) "dud-htc-hfcldd-4.11.17.2166.iso" and the driver package "htc-hfcldd-kmp-default-4.11.17.2166_3.0.76_0.11-1.sles11sp3.x86_64.rpm". To obtain DUD and the driver package log onto : https://portal.hds.com. The Hitachi customer has to be a member of "HDS support portal" to access the driver for download. 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. To install SLES to the SAN storage, refer to the document "Hitachi Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter Users Guide(SLES Driver Edition)" on https://portal.hds.com
This is a SAN boot only system.
