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

Tue May 5 10:27:56 EDT 2009

The parts lists are available but you have to make sure you have a corporate torture chamber and a few Cisco SMEs.

The problem is the *exact* specified parts are not available and orderable.

My understanding is you can order non-MCS boxen at anytime, you just have to
make sure you have the *exact* specified parts list for Cisco or you'll end
up with a hair-pulling installation error.

So when can we order NON MCS servers?

You are correct in the server equivalency but the second link Jason  
provided shows that server can only run 6.1(3) and the Windows CUCM.

able to run 7.0 on it.

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:

Supported Servers for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases

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.

These parts are new. They are suppose to be for the H4 server.

HP DL320-G5p Server with Intel E8400 3-GHz Processor

The DL320-G5p is a high-performance server platform for today's unified
communications applications. It supports up to 1000 Cisco Unified IP  
Phones
on a single server and up to 4000 Cisco Unified IP Phones when clustered
properly. The required processor is an Intel E8400 3-GHz processor. No
specific memory configuration is required as long as 2 GB of memory is
provided. It is the configuration equivalent of the Cisco MCS

The feedback I hear on this list is that these parts are from 2006 era
and you shouldn't be buying them if you talk to HP directly...Who wants
a 2006 Lexus when they can get a 2009/2010?

I was under the impression that a new parts list and new MCS line will
be out June/July timeframe for CallManager 7.0(2)...

However I have no authority on this and shouldn't be deemed an
authority, just a guess on my part that a server refresh is past due...

I need this updated if it's not. I've got Cisco talking out of both
sides of their mouth. TAC says your list of parts *clearly* means that
the parts ordered aren't compatible and I checked against the HP server
parts list. Then the customer calls Cisco independently and they tell
him that the parts ordered *are* compatible.
