3rd-patry HP servers for virtualization (blade or rack mounted?)

[delacruze]

I have heard from some that for 3rd party servers, Cisco only supports HPs that are blade chassis.  From the Cisco Wiki, it states that blade OR rack mounted work.   Who is right?

A third of the way down in this link it states both would be sufficient as long as it contains the supported hardware (CPU, RAM, etc).

Hi Eric,

Rack mount or Blade servers from HP are both supported

any HP server or IBM server is supported as long as:

• it is on the VMware HCL for the version of VMware vSphere ESXi required by UC.
• it carries a CPU model supported by UC (described later in this policy).
• it satisfies all other requirements of this policy
• Otherwise, any HP/IBM model, generation, form factor (rack, blade) may be used.

From your link as well.

Cheers!
