HP Integrity BL860c i4 Server Blade - Mix 8core and 4core CPUs

Customer question from Binu:

 

**************

 

Hi Experts

 

Customer has asked for 12-core Integrity server

 

The HP Integrity BL860c i4 Server Blade supports 2x 8-core / 2x 4-core  9500 processors

 

Question

 

Can it support 1x8-core + 1x 4-core CPU to make it 12 core? Means mixing and installing a 8-core and  4-core CPU together

 

Or 2x8-core or 2x 4-core combination only works ?

 

 

I am NOT looking at vPAR  solution , where I can restrict CPU at core levels also.

Anything possible from hardware side.

All of the processors in the Integrity blades need to be identical—so mixing of processors is not supported.
