Typical ProLiant Cluster for NetWare 4.2 Configuration Fibre Channel Array Controller Whether your intention is to upgrade an existing server or purchase a new Compaq server, the following minimum hardware requirements must be met for a ProLiant Cluster for NetWare 4.2 configuration. Compaq ProLiant Servers The primary components of a cluster are the servers. The initial release of the ProLiant Cluster for NetWare 4.2 supports a two-node cluster, where each node is a server. The key software component that imparts high availability to the cluster servers is Novell High Availability Server (NHAS). Throughout the development of the NHAS software, Compaq has been a partner with Novell to ensure that Compaq ProLiant servers are the ideal platforms for NHAS. Compaq has logged countless hours testing ProLiant clusters, which have successfully passed Novell's NHAS Certification test suite. This rigorous suite of tests ensures that the cluster works as an integrated unit, not just as a collection of individual components. 0096-0699-A
