In order to have proper network performance and system stability, it is advised that customers maintain versions of the enic and fnic drives below. Servers are usually delivered to customers with these versions, however, in some cases versions can get rolled back to the default enic and fnic versions when OS/Kernel patching is performed.

#### Disable EDAC:

The Error Detection And Correction (EDAC) module helps in detecting and correcting memory errors. However, the underlying hardware for SAP HNA on Azure Large Instances (Type I) is already preforming the same function. Having the same feature enabled at the hardware and Operating system (OS) levels can cause conflicts and can lead to occasional, unplanned shutdowns of the server. Therefore, it is recommended to disable the module from the OS.
