Compaq ML350 Implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 on - Page 13

Important: The drivers for the network interface controllers reside on the Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD and have undergone testing by Microsoft and HP. ProLiant cluster support A critical goal of HP's Adaptive Enterprise is to offer customers the ability to reduce exposure to unplanned downtime through automated software and hardware tools that predict, diagnose, and respond immediately to potential fault conditions. HP delivers intelligent fault resilience with its High Availability Clustering product solutions and kits built on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, industry standard ProLiant servers, Smart Array Cluster Storage, or StorageWorks platforms integrated with HP management tools. The following products support Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition: ProLiant DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster, ProLiant DL380 G3 Packaged Cluster, ProLiant DL380 G2 Packaged Cluster, ProLiant CL380 Packaged cluster, and the ProLiant Cluster Kits HA/F500 for Enterprise Virtual Array, HA/F500 for MA8000, and HA/F100 & F200 for MSA1000. PCI Hot Plug support PCI Hot Plug is the ability to physically insert, remove, or replace PCI adapters while a ProLiant server is powered on. PCI Hot Plug operations may be performed under Windows Server 2003 SP1 on supported ProLiant servers with the PCI Hot Plug Filter Driver installed. ProLiant storage options and network interface controllers are supported for PCI Hot Plug operations. ProLiant servers that are capable of PCI Hot Plug include: Table 6. ProLiant servers with PCI Hot Plug support HP ProLiant DL servers ProLiant DL380 G2 ProLiant DL380 G3 ProLiant DL580 ProLiant DL580 G2 ProLiant DL740 ProLiant DL760 G2 HP ProLiant ML servers ProLiant ML370 G2 ProLiant ML530 G2 ProLiant ML570 ProLiant ML570 G2 ProLiant ML750 Compaq ProLiant servers ProLiant 6400R ProLiant 6500 Xeon ProLiant 7000 Xeon ProLiant 8000 ProLiant 8500 Higher availability on HP and Microsoft solutions is achieved through the deployment of Hot Plug RAID Memory, the most robust memory-protection solution in the HP Advanced Memory Protection strategy. With the introduction of industry-leading ProLiant 8-way platforms, the ProLiant DL760 G2 and ProLiant DL740, HP is the first and only vendor to offer Hot Plug RAID Memory in an industrystandard platform. With the introduction of these two new platforms based on the HP F8 chipset, customers will be able to, for the first time, deploy mainframe levels of availability in their industrystandard IT environments, without the high cost of mainframe technology. With the HP/Microsoft solution, customers can dynamically hot-add memory capacity without powering down the server which delivers true resource scalability and maximum uptime for enterprise customers. The Hot Add Memory feature in the specified 4-way and 8-way ProLiant servers is only supported in Windows Server 2003. 13
