I will be posting notes from the non-NDA sessions I attend here at the IBM Technical Conference but I wanted to port this one quickly.

The IBM 3850 can be purchased with embedded ESX 3i (or whatever they are calling it these days).  As of TODAY (this will proabaly change in the near future) this machine can not be grown into a multi-node x3950.  This is due to a driver limitation.

ESX 3.5 is NOT affected.  As a matter of fact, with ESX 3.5 Update 2, you can now do up to a four node 3950.
