Question about BL35

[Max Sorokin]

Hi,
I make a mistake in my previous question about Proliant BL35:
"We plan to buy 10 BL35 ProLiant servers, the question is, whats better, to buy 5 SLIV
(1 SLIV for 2 BL35) or 10 SLIV (1 SLIV for 1 BL35)"?
The correct question is: What's better: 5 SLIV (1 SLIV for 2 BL35) or 8 SLIV: 2 SLIV (1 SLIV for 2 BL35) and 6 SLIV (1 SLIV for 1 BL35)

Thanks,

Max

Buy 5 SLIV. In other free place you can plug other blade's (BL25, etc).
No other performance or availability reasons to use more SLIV.

Yep, but remember about small catch about routing FC signals for a couple of BL35p in each sleeve - both are on the same FC loop.
