There's a posting from Jan-Erik from 5-May-2022 which quotes an email 
VSI sent out on the same day.
(<snews://news.cis.dfn.de:563/t51g33$q73$1@dont-email.me>)

 From this email:

> After analyzing customer feedback, VMS Software Inc. has made the decision to move hypervisor support on OpenVMS V9.2 to the top of our priority list.
[...]
> Better hypervisor support will mean being able to run OpenVMS on any x86 hardware, which is a priority for many customers. However, this also means that bare metal support will be delayed – although eventually the DL380 and several other server models are planned to be supported.

Please note the wording "eventually".

So no, V9.2 does not (yet) support bare metal.

But David's DL380 sounds quite fine for e.G. VMware - 14 cores only 
require a single ESXi license.
