Red Hat Hardware Certification Submitted Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version: 3 Make: ES7000 Model: 420 Vendor: Unisys Category: Server Reporter: Lawrence.Newitt Kernel Version: kernel-2.4.21-40.EL File Uploaded: rhr2-ES7000-420-Taroon_Update_7_results-1.noarch.rpm https://bugdev.devel.redhat.com/hwcert/data/rpms/088baf13113e63187c38e8c5456f84f3/rhr2-ES7000-420-Taroon_Update_7_results-1.noarch.rpmPlease note the following failures: WARNING: Kickstart file not found for required tests check. 0 PASSED USB PASSED INFO FAILED CORE2 PASSED MEMORY2 PASSED STORAGE2 PASSED CDROM 1 PASSED INFO FAILED CORE2 2 PASSED INFO FAILED CORE 3 PASSED INFO PASSED CORE2 4 FAILED NETWORK2 PASSED INFO 5 FAILED NETWORK2 PASSED INFO 6 PASSED NETWORK2 PASSED INFO 7 PASSED INFO PASSED CORE2
If I'm reading the specifications sheet right, the maximum configuration is 32 processors with 256G of RAM. We'll need to see test results with the maximum number of CPUs. The requirements for memory testing are as follows, copied from section 5.3 of the Hardware Certification Policies document: --- The greater of either 1/4 the maximum amount of RAM supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux for the given architecture or the maximum amount of RAM sold in systems sold to date. For example, an x86 system that supports up to 32GB of RAM would need to have at least 16GB of RAM to be tested for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (maximum supported RAM for x86 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is 64GB; 1/4 of 64GB is 16GB) assuming that no systems of that model have been sold with more than 16GB to date. If this exception is used, Red Hat will also require an official statement certifying that maximal memory testing under Red Hat Enterprise Linux was part of the product qualification cycle at the hardware vendor. Moreover, the vendor must support the maximum amount of RAM listed in the specification irrespective of the test results submitted. --- On RHEL 3, the maximum amount of memory we support on Itanium is 128G. I also do not see any information in the specifications page regarding video, USB, optical drives, hard drives, network cards, etc. What information are customers given if they ask Unisys about those components?
Also, do we currently have one of the systems, either at our Westford office or in Raleigh?
As we discussed, this system is already covered by https://hardware.redhat.com/hwcert/show.cgi?id=148276, so we can close this one out.
According comment #3, dumpest it.
