Issue

What are the supported limits for RAM on the Hitachi BladeSymphony 2000 IA-32 Server Module GVAE57A2 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1?

Resolution

The current Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) certification limits for x86-64 based systems is 2TB maximum memory per http://www.redhat.com/resourcelibrary/articles/articles-red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-technology-capabilities-and-limits. The BladeSymphony 2000 IA-32 Server Module GVAE57A2 supports up to 3TB of memory on the x86-64 (64 bit) architecture; the system therefore required additional testing beyond the normal certification requirements.
