Config Notes

SUSE Driver Kit: The lenovo_x6_and_m5-sle11sp3-x86_64-1.0.iso 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: https://drivers.suse.com/lenovo/Lenovo-System-x-X6-M5/sle-11-sp3-x86_64/1.0/install-readme.html.

Maintenance update: SLES 11 SP3 Xen maintenance update 10560 and kernel update 10549 (x86-64) are required and were installed during certification testing. Hard drive configuration: RAID 6. Tested as a 1-node scalable partition with 4 Compute Books. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=10G dom0_max_vcpus=10.
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.
