It will sometimes report full when it is not full due to metadata.

Here’s something you should know when you start the SLES eval process In the interim, placing your iptable directives in the custom file, can bridge the gap. Ultimately, you should be able to translate your iptable directives to SuSEfirewall2 equivalents, but depending on the complexity, it may take some time. You’ll need to place these settings in a custom file surveyed by the firewall to survive reboots. Editing the /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file and enabling the FW_CUSTOMRULES file will allow you to put/save these settings into the firewall.In SLES 12, there is not a traditional “iptables” file for saving.

Tip #4 – By: Roger Dills The SLES 12 firewall is very powerful and can replace the need for iptables, but you may have iptable configurations you’d like to import.

Note: This is accurate only for ext3 and ext4 file systems. Where -c0 changes the number of mounts between checks to zero, where -i0 changes the number of days between checks to zero, and /dev/sdb1 is the disk partition hosting the GroupWise post office data store. You do not want to get caught by surprise on a server boot up, to wait hours for the file system auto check to complete when you needed the post office up ASAP.

Tip #3 – By: Gene Homan When a large volume is in use (like in the case for the GroupWise post office volume) it is highly recommended to disable the Linux OS file system auto check feature that runs on an OS boot up every so many mounts or days for a disk partition.

" entry >Įdit "Optional Kernal Command Line Parameter" line and add " elevator=noop" at end of it SLES11: Section Management tab > Edit "SUSE Linux. You need to set elevator=noop in the SLES OS boot-up.Here are the steps to accomplish this setting within SLES: When you let VMware take care of this, you will see disk speed increases some times up to 30%.

Tip #2 – By: Gene Homan If running SLES under VMware ESXi, allow the VMware Hypervisor to take care of the disk IO block request order instead of SLES trying to figure out the optimal block request order.

Note: It is accurate for SLES 11, but with SLES 12 we include open-vm-tools which do the same thing as the VMWare tools provided by VMWare, plus the open-vm-tools are installed automatically when you install SLES 12, so the VMWare provided tools are no longer needed.

Overall the SLES OS performance and management is improved. The VMware Hypervisor can issue “Shutdown Guest” and “Restart Guest” commands into the SLES OS gracefully. Provides support for guest-bound calls created with the VMware VIX APIĮxample of what can be done with the tools in place:.Synchronizes the time in the guest operating system with the time on the host.Provides the ability to take quiesced snapshots of the guest OS.Inability to copy and paste and drag-and-drop files.Installing VMware Tools eliminates or improves these issues: Tip #1 – by: Gene Homan If running SLES under VMware, it is highly recommended to install the VMware Tools for Linux so the SLES OS runs super efficient under VMware.Here’s something you should know about installing or configuring SLES Here’s something you should know about working with your patches and updates.Here’s something you should know when you start the SLES eval process.Here’s something you should know about installing or configuring SLES.

These will save you time and keep you from learning things the hard way. This is the kind of stuff you want to know BEFORE you install, not after. This is a nice collection of tips that some of our power users think you should know when you first install it. If you’re evaluating SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, check this out.
