My new Proliants can hot plug memory, disk controllers, disk drives but definitely not the CPU (offline, yes). vSphere has the capability to hot add vCPUs and memory. As far as I know swapping out CPUs in a running system is still uncommon.

- derekp7 14y agoMost of their P series (AIX Power systems) can hotplug almost anything also (I've never hot-swapped CPUs on one, but I thought I saw an option in SMIT for that).
- vondur 14y agoI believe many of the high end Sun Servers supported hot swapable memory and CPU's. Only on their higher end servers though.
