Config Notes

Install: The SLES install was performed using a virtual DVD device.
Kernel update: SLES11 SP3 kernel update 9237 (3.0.101-0.29 x86-64) is required and was installed during certification testing. The updated igb.ko driver is provided as part of this patch.
The maximum CPU cores or threads when hyper threading is enabled which can be allocated from LPAR is 240.
The driver "htc-hfcldd" used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from the driver update disk(DUD) "dud-htc-hfcldd-4.11.18.3130.iso" and the driver package htc-hfcldd-kmp-default-4.11.18.3130_3.0.76_0.11-1.sles11sp3.x86_64.rpm. To obtain DUD and the driver package, access to http://www.hitachi.co.jp/products/bladesymphony/download/driver/12346444.html. DUD can be used to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server(SLES) to the SAN storage, and driver package can be installed after the SLES installation. The driver was forcibly loaded.
This is a SAN boot only system.
