Config Notes

Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Windows VM requires kernel parameter "split_lock_detect=on" to be set.
Persistent Memory: The Persistent Memory in the system was configured and verified "separately" in 100-percent AppDirect Mode, and then in 100-percent Memory Mode.
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to a SLES 15 SP3 guest. One of the integrated Broadcom® NetXtreme® E-Series BCM57416 10GBASE-T adapters was used in this testing.
