Config Notes

Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=20G dom0_max_vcpus=20.
Maintenance update: SLES 11 SP3 Xen maintenance update 8973 and kernel update 9105 (x86-64) are required and were installed during certification testing.
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).
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 the FV SLES 11 SP3 i586 and SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guests. The Intel® I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapters were 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.
Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: RAID 0 and RAID 1.
