Config Notes

Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Hard Disk Configuration: JBOD. System was scaled up to 8-sockets by joining four x880 X6 with 8S scalability connector. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with and requires the following additional load parameters: dom0_mem=16G dom0_max_vcpus=8.
Serial/USB/VGA port(s): provided through KVM connector console breakout cable which supplies one RS232 serial port, one VGA port and two additional USB ports.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameter was changed to crashkernel=316M,high crashkernel=172M,low for kdump to function correctly.
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to a SLES 15 FV guest. One of the integrated 10GB Virtual Fabric Ethernet LOM adapters was used in this testing.
VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows Server 2016 drivers are available from http://download.suse.com (VMDP-WIN-2.5.exe).
