Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2530 M2 is a rack server that provides high performance, expandability and energy efficiency in a 1U space saving housing. The PRIMERGY RX2530 M2 is ideal for virtualization, scale-out scenarios, and small databases as well as for high performance computing thanks to the high performance of the new Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 product family with up to 22 cores and the latest DDR4 memory technology. Moreover, the RX2530 M2 delivers a great expandability by supporting up to 1536 GB of DDR4 memory up to 10 hard disk drives and optionally up to four high-speed PCIe SSDs as well as flexible DynamicLoM technology, to ensure future requirements are met and budgets are saved. The limited space of a 1U chassis offers highly efficient power supply units, their redundancy on demand and the optional Coolsafe® Advanced Thermal Design for an ambient operating temperature of up to 40°C/104°F, optionally even up to 45°C/113°F. This will result in lower operational costs. For more detailed information, please refer to the data sheet at: http://docs.ts.fujitsu.com/dl.aspx?id=b52bfc55-2ec4-4866-a76f-b9620be90781

Config Notes

Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: RAID 1. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=10G dom0_max_vcpus=10.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameter must be increased from the default value for kdump to function correctly.
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 http://download.suse.com (VMDP-WIN-2.2.exe).
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to the SLES 12 FV guest and another virtual network adapter was given to the SLES 11 SP3 x86_64 FV guest. Two Intel I350-T4 ML2 GbE adapters were used in this testing.
Maintenance update: SLES 12 Xen kernel update 333 is required and was installed on the host during certification testing. SLES 12 kernel update 333 was installed on SLES 12 FV guest, SLES 11 SP3 kernel update 10103 was installed on SLES 11 SP3 x86_64 FV guest. 64-bit guests were tested with a maximum memory configuration of 64GB.
