Product Description
FUJITSU Server PRIMEQUEST 3800E2 is the prime system for economic mission-critical computing. It unifies the economic and flexibility benefits of x86 industry standard systems with mission- critical uptime features. Customers running SAP, financial institutions or big data applications will thus continuously benefit from a radically optimized cost effectiveness compared to UNIX/ Mainfram-based enterprise platforms, while preserving all the RAS qualities so that the system always remains active. Featuring eight of the Intel® Xeon® Platinum processor family, the PRIMEQUEST 3800E2 provides unprecedented performance and memory capacity for demanding corporate databases, mission-critical applications and in-memory solutions. Mission critical features also enable outstanding platform reliability with innovative error prevention and self-healing capabilities, such as a Reserved System Board, flexible I/O as well as physical hardware partitioning (PPAR). Moreover, unique features, such as Dynamic Reconfiguration enable the efficient use of available resources while simplifying resource management without any need for a reboot of the system.

Config Notes

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.
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 ibm_x6-sle11sp3-x86_64 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/ibm/IBM-X6/sle11-sp3/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 one of the host network adapters was given to the FV SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. One of the Intel® I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapters was used during this testing.
