Product Description
The Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX920 S3 is a dual-socket
server blade which offers the ideal balance of
performance and cost-efficiency. It is designed for
large enterprise data centers, midsized businesses
and branch offices and delivers efficient compute
power that is suitable for mainstream business
applications and virtual client computing
scenarios.
The server blade leverages CPUs of the latest Intel®
Xeon® processor E5-2400 product family utilizing
enhanced QuickPath Interconnect architecture. By
packing two processors, two hot-plug disk drives,
up to 384 GB of DDR3 memory, and a flexible
dual-channel 10 Gigabit Converged Network
Adapter on board, the PRIMERGY BX920 S3 server
blade delivers high performance to ensure
today’s demand while being prepared for future
requirements. In addition, the PRIMERGY BX920
S3 server blade is equipped with the state-of-theart
integrated Remote Management Controller
(iRMC S3) which enables extensive control even at
remote locations. With its wide range of processor,
disk and memory options, it provides IT managers
with the performance and scalability they need
for all their applications. The optimal and secure
support of I/O-intensive applications like terminal
servers is ensured by the optional use of a RAID
controller with a write-back cache on board,
optionally protected by a Flash Backup Unit.

Config Notes
- VM Driver Pack: All guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES 11 SP3 drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.1.exe), and the virtio drivers was used.
- SUSE Driver Kit: The ibm_x6-sle11sp3-x86_64 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: http://drivers.suse.com/ibm/IBM-X6/sle11-sp3/install-readme.html.
- Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
- PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where two of the host network adapters were given, one each, to a SLES 11 SP3 i586 guest and a SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. Two adapters (ports) from the Intel® I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapter was used during this testing.
- 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.
- Tested as a 2-node scalable partition with 8 Compute Books. Hard disk configuration: RAID 0 and RAID 1.
