Cluster Configuration Guide
08 February, 2000
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LPr configurations with
the XP256 and Microsoft
Cluster Server.
These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF), provide maximum
availability, and have been certified by Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft.
This guide is prescriptive; it
describes the configurations supported by HP.
Any deviance to these configurations can result in an
inoperative cluster or an operating cluster with degraded performance, hidden SPOFs, etc., and therefore
will not be supported by HP.
