Config Notes

Headless configuration - no graphics adapter. System configured using IBM remote Hardware Management Console (HMC) for graphics, keyboard and mouse.
Install: The SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server install was performed using a network install method.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were changed based on the content in the following knowledge-base article: http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3374462.
Power management: The System/Processor dynamic CPU frequency scaling functionality in SLES is not supported on POWER9 with PowerVM as this functionality is provided by the POWER9 with PowerVM hardware its-self.
Required configuration: SLES 11 SP4 will run in POWER8 Compatibility mode. 'Compatibility mode' simply means that the POWER9 processor with SMT8 will act as though it were a POWER8 processor with SMT8
