Looking for training advice

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Hi everyone,

I could not find a specific NG for HP/Cpq servers so I decided to post in
this one!

We are currently merging with another company of a similar size and although
we are strictly a DELL/IBM house, all of their servers are HP/Compaq. We
have been re-assured by the mgt that all necessary training will be
delivered but the initial couple of weeks will be quite tricky!

My question is what would you suggest as the best training/books/online (FOC
would be nice) which will show us the main differences between our boxes and
HP's technologies (without necessary going through the ASE cert!!) so that
we do not embarrass ourselves. I thought a server box is a server box but
the HP ppl will try to prove us wrong!

Any (!!) help will be appreciated...

Many thanks,

Jose
