Config Notes

SR-IOV/PCI Pass-through: Current system configuration does not support network SR-IOV or network PCI Pass-through.
Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Hard Disk Configuration: RAID 0.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to "crashkernel=187M,high crashkernel=152M,low" using YaST.
System was tested headlessly with no KVM connector (Serial/USB/VGA ports); it was installed and configured using the IMM Remote connection. Because there was no KVM connector the USB ports were not tested during certification.
VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from https://download.suse.com/ (VMDP-WIN-2.3.exe).
