One additional caveat, just to make sure you're aware of this gotcha.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Before ordering hardware, always check the CCM software compatibility matrix:<br><br><a href="http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_device_support_tables_list.html">http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_device_support_tables_list.html</a><br>

<br><br>The server you're looking at from the rest of the thread looks to be:<br><br><span class="content">HP DL320-G5p<br><br>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)<br>

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

<br>
The DL320-G5p is a high-performance server platform for today's unified<br>
communications applications. It supports up to 1000 Cisco Unified IP Phones<br>
on a single server and up to 4000 Cisco Unified IP Phones when clustered<br>
properly. The required processor is an Intel E8400 3-GHz processor. No<br>
specific memory configuration is required as long as 2 GB of memory is<br>
provided. It is the configuration equivalent of the Cisco MCS<br>
7825-H4-IPC1/CCX1/CCE1.<br>
Table 6 lists the hardware configuration requirements.<br>

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Is the MCS-clone HP server parts list current?<br>
<br>
The feedback I hear on this list is that these parts are from 2006 era<br>
and you shouldn't be buying them if you talk to HP directly...Who wants<br>
a 2006 Lexus when they can get a 2009/2010?<br>
<br>
I was under the impression that a new parts list and new MCS line will<br>
be out June/July timeframe for CallManager 7.0(2)...<br>
<br>
However I have no authority on this and shouldn't be deemed an<br>
authority, just a guess on my part that a server refresh is past due...<br>

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