Product Description
Fujitsu’s PRIMEQUEST 2400E unite the economic and flexibility benefits of x86 industry standards with mission-critical uptime features. Customers will thus immediately benefit from a radically optimized cost effectiveness against comparable UNIX-based enterprise platforms, while preserving all the attributes so that the system always remains active. Featuring four of the Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800 v2 family which deliver up to 60 cores and 6TB memory, the PRIMEQUEST provides unprecedented performance and memory capacity for demanding corporate databases, mission-critical applications and in-memory solutions. Mission critical features also enable outstanding platform reliability with innnovative error prevention and self-healing capabilities, such as Reserved System Board, Flexible I/O as well as physical partitioning. Moreover, unique features, such as Dynamic Reconfiguration enable the efficient use of available resources while simplifying resource management without any need for a restart.

Config Notes

This is a SAN boot only system.
Install: The SLES install was performed using a virtual DVD device.
Maintenance update: SLES12 SP3 kernel update "4.4.140-94.42.1" is required and was installed during certification testing.
The driver "htc-hfcldd" used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver was installed from the driver update disk (DUD) "dud-htc-hfcldd-4.12.22.4334.iso" and the driver package htc-hfcldd-kmp-default-4.12.22.4334_4.4.73_7-1.sles12sp3.x86_64.rpm. To obtain DUD and the driver package, access to http://www.hitachi.co.jp/products/bladesymphony/download/driver/12347757.html. DUD can be used to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) to the SAN storage, and driver package can be installed after the SLES installation.
The driver "ixgbe" used during testing is SUSE SolidDriver Program compliant. The driver ixgbe used for Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express Family of Server Adapters is named "ixgbe-kmp-default-5.3.5_k4.4.73_7-h1a.x86_64.rpm". This driver package can be downloaded and installed after the SLES12 SP3 install. To obtain the driver go to: http://www.hitachi.co.jp/products/bladesymphony/download/driver/12347731.html.
