We've been using the Compaq/HP BLp series blades for
about 9 months. We have a mix of Citrix servers
running XPe FR1, FR2, and FR3 on W2K and soon to be
W2K3. Here were some of the major challenges.
Learning to automate the build process from begining
to end using a mix of SmartStart, Compaq Scripting
tools, and Wyse packaging. We don't image servers.
Successful testing and integration of the built in
chassis switches into our Cisco environment.
Working with the limitations of nic teaming due to the
odd number of nics available on the blade.
There are a few more but these were the majors. The
blade HW has been rock solid.
Hope this helps.
