[cisco-voip] HP DL380 G5 servers

Thu Jul 24 15:01:27 EDT 2008

Well, you need to match the CPU and hard drive config...

So, to mimic a 7845, you need dual 2.4Ghz or 3.06Ghz and 4x 72GB hard
drives and 4GB of RAM

We were short of hard drives, so we yanked the second CPU and used 2 72GBers...

Installed CUCM 6.1.2 with no problems...
