Config Notes

Install: The SLES install was performed using a virtual DVD device.
SLES update: SLES 12 SP5 kernel update "kernel-default-4.12.14-122.17.1" or later is required and was installed during certification testing. This kernel update contains a fix to the i40e.ko driver to fix an issue where the two RJ45 ports are not detected, only the two SFP+ ports are detected on the Intel Ethernet Controller X710-TM4 adapter. After the system has been registered with SCC you can install the update with the following command: zypper install kernel-default-4.12.14-122.17.1
