[cisco-voip] Is the MCS-clone HP server parts list current?

One additional caveat, just to make sure you're aware of this gotcha.

If you order a brand spanking new server directly from HP keep in mind that
you may have to wait a while for a version of CallManager to come out that
actually supports that server hardware.

It is hardcoded in the CCM installer to check the machine model / specs and
give a go or no go on the install. If the server model is newer than the
version of CCM you're installling - the install will fail.  Not the greatest
design in my opinion, but I suppose they did it to ensure you're running on
something that has been tested.

Before ordering hardware, always check the CCM software compatibility
matrix:

Releases<http://cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/prod_brochure0900aecd8062a4f9.html>

The server you're looking at from the rest of the thread looks to be:

HP DL320-G5p

Which is only supported in CCM 6.1.3, and NOT in 5, 6.1.2, or 7. (although
it does have 4.X support)

Hope that helps.
