Product Description
Extensive usage of industry standard x86 based platforms is becoming more important than ever: be it as database management system for medium or large-sized databases or as a consolidation basis to run an immensely large number of different applications using virtualization technologies. The scalable PRIMERGY RX600 S6 is in every respect a reliable server for such critical company scenarios. The ideal interaction of integrated redundancy functions with server management components results in high-level availability and constantly efficient IT production as a character feature of this server platform. The latest generation of Intel Xeon processors equipped with up to 10 state-of-the art cores enable a unique performance boost which however does not bear optimal dividends unless paired with other features: a high extendable main memory capacity with up to 64 DIMMs and a very high number of performant PCI Express channels provide a balanced high throughput architecture so as to meet increasing requirements. This and the continued evolution of virtualization support via Intel® components (processor, I/O controller) enable a greater consolidation of servers and applications with all the market relevant virtualization solutions , resulting in excellent best-in-class efficiency.

Config Notes

Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration. Hard Drive Configuration: RAID 1. System was configured as 1-node scalable partition. Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=16G dom0_max_vcpus=10. Desktop GUI was removed (init 3) during overnight stress testing.
Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were increased from the default to "crashkernel=227M,high crashkernel=152M,low" using YaST.
VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from https://download.suse.com/ (VMDP-WIN-2.3.exe).
PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where one of the host network adapters was given to the FV SLES 12 guest. The Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server adapter was used for this testing.
