Nice setup I think. The only thing with the DL380G3 and G4 is that it 
freezes in some situations. This has been reported in the company 
where I work and is a known bug to HP which will be solved by some 
firmware upgrade.

However the problem occurs only in some special situation noone can 
really describe (cosmic rays ?! ;-) and at that location where I work 
we installed SAP on a DL380G3 and it never froze. 

And at the end let me say that personally I like the DL380s. You can 
even resize Logical Drives of the RAID (e.g. when putting in 
some new harddisc) without shutting down the server!

Good Luck!
