If you go to cisco.com and search for "server solutions" in the search box (enter it with the quotes around it), the first two results will be HP and IBM server solutions. Pick whichever brand you prefer, and it will list the supported server models with their EXACT specs. These aren't rough guidelines that you can "fudge" on - you need to be EXACT with these specs or as a rule the software will not install AND more importantly cisco will not support it.<br><br>-Go0se<br><br><b><i>Derick Winkworth <ccie15672@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div>I'm not familiar at all with this licensing.
