Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX4770 M2 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 v3 product family
with up to 72 cores pushes this server to a whole
new level of compute performance to deliver
more efficient business results. Thanks to the
highly performant and super fast DDR4 memory
technology with up to 6TB memory capacity,
the system can handle complex, data-intensive
workloads e.g. in-memory databases like SAP
HANA® and real-time business analytics even
easier than the previous generation. The PRIMERGY
RX4770 M2 supports 12 Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller
with optional FBU and up to eight 2.5-inch hot-
plug storage drives providing faster access to more
data and can be expanded to a total of 12x storage
drives when including the up to 4x 2.5-inch PCIe
SSDs. 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
M2 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 M2 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: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
- SUSE SolidDriver Compliant: The be2net network driver used during testing was installed from a kmp rpm contained on the following driver update disk (DUD): elx-be2net_10.0.727.54-be2iscsi_10.0.727.62-lpfc_10.0.727.20-sles11sp3-1.iso, kmp rpm file name: elx-be2net-kmp-xen-10.0.727.54_3.0.76_0.11-1.1.x86_64.rpm. This kmp rpm should be downloaded and installed after the SLES Xen install. To obtain the driver go to: http://drivers.suse.com/driver-process/pub/update/Emulex/sle11sp3/common/DUD/dud_lpfc_10.0.727.20_be2net_10.0.727.54_be2iscsi_10.0.727.62/ and extract from the iso image.
- Kdump: Crash kernel dump and capture does not function properly on this system due to the Emulex network adapter, and is therefore not supported.
- VM Driver Pack: All FV guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES 11 SP3 drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.1.exe).
- Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=10G dom0_max_vcpus=10.
- Maintenance update: SLES 11 SP3 Xen maintenance update 8588 and kernel update 8827 (x86-64) are required and were installed during certification testing.
