Artificial Intelligence Lab. Lines: 8 I'm afraid you are out of luck. We also have 300s and we would like to use a 700 as a server (we currently use an 850, but it does not do its job very well, a 350 used to do it better). We've asked HP, and we've heard that they are not planning to support mixed 700/300 clusters, and we are pretty annoyed, especially since it would seem that they already have all the right support given that they support an 800 as a server for 300s. The above statement is not correct. We misinterpreted some information provided by HP into believing that 300s would not be able to boot off 700s. The unsupported configuration is 700s booting off 800s. Sorry for the confusion
