HP ProLiant DL360p G8 Server overview

The Avaya Common Servers category includes the HP ProLiant DL360p G8 server that supports
several Avaya software solutions, some requiring more hardware, and memory requirements
beyond the standard configuration. This overview covers the standard configuration only—consult
specific Avaya product documentation for application-specific or solution-specific server
configurations.
• Avaya Common Servers are supplied under an OEM relationship and Avaya servers are
treated differently than other commercially available servers from the vendors.
• Neither customers, business partners, distributors, nor Avaya Associates interacting with
customers and business partners, should get BIOS or other firmware updates for any third-
party OEM servers forming part of Avaya's turnkey appliance offers. Only consult Avaya-
provided downloads, information and support. Send questions to the Server Product
Management mailbox at srvrprodmgt@avaya.com.
• Avaya Common Servers are turnkey appliances. No server designed for a particular application
can be repurposed for use with another application. The only exception to this is when an
application has provided an upgrade or migration path from one server state to a different
server state with the appropriate kits, tools, documentation, and training materials. For
example, Avaya Aura
running Modular Messaging to Avaya Aura
• Remote access and use of HP's hardware management tools for the HP ProLiant DL360p G8
server are not supported by any Avaya application (HP ILO).
• Do not contact HP for Service; all support, warranty, repair, and maintenance are through the
Avaya processes.
• Avaya strongly recommends that all servers are protected with an Uninterruptable Power
Supply for power surge and interruption protection. Avaya is not responsible for servers
damaged by power surges, brown outs, black outs etc. when the server is connected to
standard power mains and has no protection.
• Substitution of a DC power supply for a server must be approved by the Application Product
Manager before substitution. If there is a significant demand for a turnkey solution with a DC
power supply, an Avaya GRIP (Global Requirements Integration Process) request must be
submitted. Partners registered to use this process can submit a GRIP request at
portal.avaya.com/apps/grip/partner.asp. Avaya Associates may assist and can find information
