Operating Systems:

SUSE® LINUX Enterprise Server 10 for AMD64 & Intel64 Service Pack 4 for SUSE® SLES 10

Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY TX2560 M2 offers maximum performance, best expandability and highest availability without any compromises. Branches, data centers and SMEs value the performance of up to two Intel® Xeon® E5 v4 processors in combination with a maximum 1536 GB DDR4 memory. Up to 10 extension slots and up to 32 2.5-inch hard disks enable excellent expandability options. Thanks to a redundant power supply and fans as well as a range of different RAID controllers the Tower Server ensures top availability levels and “peace of mind”. The server is thus ideal for performance hungry applications, virtualization solutions and storage demanding scenarios. Furthermore, the comprehensive Fujitsu ServerView® Suite provides support for administrators during server installation, deployment and administration.

Config Notes

Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: RAID 0 and RAID 1.
VM Driver Pack: All 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).
SUSE Driver Kit: The Unisys E7000 7600R G4 Bootable driver kit is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver kit was installed during the SLES install process as an initial bootable iso image. This driver must be downloaded and installed before the SLES install. To obtain the driver go to: http://drivers.suse.com/unisys/Unisys_E7000_7600R_G4/sle11-sp3-x86_64/1.0/install-readme.html
Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where two of the host network adapters were given to one SLES 11 SP3 i586 and one SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. One adapter from each of the Intel® I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapters was used during this testing.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameter in the elilo.conf file was changed from 128 to 256 (crashkernel:512M-:256M) for kdump to function correctly.
