[cisco-voip] HP DL380 G5 servers

[Aman Chugh]

How many hard drives of 72 GB do you need in DL380 G3 for installation of UC
6, presence or meeting place express. I had tried my luck with a server that
had 2x 72 gb hard drives on it. it is never easy to find exact HP servers
for UC 6. I always end up with some thing short on these.

BTW  I have never seen Unity server complain of supported hardware as you
can install everything manually for Unity , only cisco cd's need cisco
supported hardware.
