Bl465c G1 - Hyper-v Support

stefano colombo_1 — Fri, 28 May 2010 11:31:12 GMT

Hi all ,
I've got a question about hyper-v R2 support on blade bl465c G1 .
at the following link it seems that windows 2008 Hyper-v R2 is only supported on bl465c G5 and G6
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/windows/index.html#BL2
However in another HP documentation is said that also bl465c g1 supports hyper-v R2 .

Since I have to answer a customer which want to reuse such servers in an Hyper-v Project can anyone tell me for sure if bl465c G1 do support Hyper-v R2 ?

Thanks

Hi steffano this does not support hyper v

the 465 is the amd processor but the 460 same generation did support hyper v

Hi Mark ,
The first link you provided is exactly the one I put in my question ,
I knew about it . The problem is that in the pdf attached to my post is clearly stated that bl465c g1 support hyper-v r2.
So the question is about anyone that know for sure it will ( or not ) work on that server
thanks

Hello Stefano,
I do not see any reason why hyper-v should not work on your server.
Difference between G1 and G5 models are mostly in different CPU generation (4core vs 2core) and power management options. For example we use one G1 filled with amd 4cores and it runs great. In my opinion is g1 consiedered as "retired" model and support matrix is not actualized.

I think it's just rude to beg/ask/point people into giving points to your posts. (barring some rare situations)

I think it is even more rude that you post this in a thread started by a veteran of the forums whom has posted over 75% of his responses with points and whom has been using the forum 4 years longer than you.

hmm stevan that is your opinion imho this forum is not actually for opinions period.

But to resolve technical issues learn and have points assigned accordingly to "all" ."

..who assist, did you notice the all it is not begging or asking it is highlighting.

I have used this as a signature not a directed statement.

you mention that you think it is okay in some rare sitations

I think it is appropiate in all situations

Thats where we differ thats why i mention this forum is not the place for such
opinions, hope you agree in hindsight, but alas thats your choice..

I see you assign points to all your questions which is commendable but not all are like you unfortunately.,

hmm... 75% is not too bad ,

which means that 25 % are quite simply disregard.

Or , maybe, it means that 25% of the answers actually were not "answer" ( like your late 2 posts ) or can I even forgot to give some points .

Hmm Stefano this is no reflection on you,and is not meant as such , excuse me and steven we should both know better, as this is not a chat forum.For might I was compelled to reply, to such a dire statement.

I was pointing out to Steven that points are just a way of saying "thank you for taking the time" for a possible suggestion/fix.
some members provide suggestions these may not be the answer but still nice to say thank you ..

I would certainly do that if I asked a question....

regards...

You're right , and I think I provided some points to your first answer exactly to thank you for the effort , even if the answer did not help much

best regards
