Compatibility Matrix

[f. halili]

Where can I find the compatibility matrix for an HP BLADE BL20 with Windows Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft Cluster


Thanks,

On http://www.microsoft.com/hcl

Win 2003 Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/default.aspx?subID=22&xslt=search&pgn=acb1d593-9364-44da-893e-3393eaec7cbc&maxrows=0&sortcol=win2003&sortdir=descending&qu=bl20p&scope=1

Clusters (more or less the same though):
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/default.aspx?subID=22&xslt=search&pgn=8b712458-b91c-4a7d-8695-23e9cd3ae95b&maxrows=0&sortcol=win2003&sortdir=descending&qu=bl20p&scope=1

Once you have an HCL system then SQL Server will be supported on that system.

Apparently the 2nd link does not work.

But you will now what to do just starting e.g. from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/default.aspx?subID=22&xslt=hardwarehome

After do search from HP web site, the only page provide by HP is the campatibility matrix based on OS only.

Here is the URL :

Also, do a search for "HCL" or "Hardware Compatibility List" on the install CDs or at microsoft.com.
