You are correct, BL890c i2 now supports OpenVMS.
I think, that is relatively new development, so I didn't see it last
time I checked half a year or so ago.
So I have to change my statement above from:
"The biggest Tukwila-based gear that natively supports VMS is pretty
small (2 sockets, 8 cores), certainly much smaller than most Proliant
servers".
To more conservative:
"The biggest Tukwila-based gear that natively supports VMS is not very
big (8 sockets, 32 cores), certainly smaller than several top Proliant
servers, in particular DL580 (40 cores), DL585 (48 cores) and DL980
(80 cores)".

Thank you for correction.
