Has anyone tried to load Signaling Server software on a HP DL380G5? I am wondering because the HP DL320G4 Nortel offers is so outdated it is pathetic.
 
The switches I run are on 75Mhz Motorola CPUs with 160 meg of ram, and they yawn during the busiest time of the day.

I just did one the other day, It loads just like an ISP1100. plug it in load nortel sig serv software and follow prompts that follow.
 
I think bzakk777 is asking whether he can install the Sig Server software on an off-the-shelf HP server rather than sourcing through Nortel.

No personal experience here (I still have ISP1100s), but, given the number of imcompatibility bulletins Nortel has issued just with the COTS servers they themselves sources, I'd say your luck in getting it to work on another HP platform, other than supplied by Nortel, is somewhere between slim and none. And, if you should ever have an issue, as soon as Nortel finds out you are not using one of their sourced servers, they'd drop the ticket like a hot piece of iron.
 
Only use the Nortel support Servers, if not! NO support for you later on.
 
You must use the Nortel servers because the software image does not have the drivers for the hardware of another server and will not load.

Hence the problem with the HP servers when HP arbitrarily changed the CD drive to a different brand and Nortel had to replace alot of servers.
