I need a list of HP hardware equivalents that will support CallManager 5...

Customer has an HP contract and will not buy cisco servers...

They also have a crapload of HP servers lying around and don't see the
reason to buy another one... (all servers are G3s, combination of DL320s,
360s and 380s).

I am looking for hardware specs for each that cisco will allow an install on
(I would rather get a list and match requirements than do the trial and
error thing...)

Everything you need to know about cisco MCS servers both hardare and
software can be found at http://www.cisco.com/go/swonly.

But that isn't 'everything' I need to know.

I want to know the mods... not just the model numbers for latest and
greatest, I want a list of everything that is supported (and will be by TAC)

So, for instance...

I have a cust that has a lot of DL380 G3s... how do I need to configure that
bad boy so I can install CCM5?

I have another customer that has a DL320 G4 (P4 3.4Ghz, dual 80GB SATA, 2GB
of RAM), CCM5 installed fine, no probs...

However,  a single 2.8Ghz Xeon with 2GB of RAM and dual 72GB U320 SCSI
drives failed the hardware check... (so did a dual 2.4Ghz Xeon with 4GB of
RAM and dual 72GB U320s...)

So, is there a G3 config that will work?

(as far as I can get from that page, a single 2.4Ghz Xeon with 2 36Gb drives
should work... which doesn't make sense... a dual Xeon with more HD space
fails?? What????)

I think there should be logic behind this, there appears to not be.

BTW, I think the dual Xeon box is faster than the crappy DL320..

Here's for fun... they don't have any DL380G3s with 2.4Ghz processors left,
they do have a 380 with a 3060Mhz box, but they want to use it for their
Unity server... They have literally dozens of the 2.8s, but they aren't
supported.

This is slowly getting into 'this blows' territory....

I am going to have retask something here...

I would use the 3.06 Box for CM and use what ever is left for Unity.
Unity runs on anything.

 

It all comes down to what cisco certified at the time....... Personally
we are a Dell shop so the HP(Cisco) stick out in my rack.  And all my
3rd party stuff is on Dell also.  I even have a Unity server running on
a Dell

 

It's one of those things that you just aren't going to win.... You know
like call forwarding a second line(right Lelio?). or all IPT using the
same version of Java(I'm talking to myself).

The feature should be available on the phone itself, with out the need to ha
ve a PC and assign devices to userIDs and have userIDs and passwords. Like I
'm gonna install a PC in our steam tunnels. ;)

The phone itself has to be programmed for the idea/concept of forwarding sec
ondary lines. Right now if you forward a line, there is no indication WHATSO
EVER (kaboom goes Lelio's head) to say that that line is forwarded. This lim
its XML applications as well. They try to change the line text label, but if
 people have already changed it, it starts screwing things up. For example, 
the little dancing phone and arrow should be applied at the line level, not 
at the top of the phone. Using the blue scroll bar would cycle through the f
orwarding destinations on the screen.

I had a few customers put in a feature request for CFA on any line, and hold
ringback about 6.5 years ago.

We finally got hold ringback in CCM4.2.
