Cluster Configuration Guide
4 October 2000
(see
Versions
at the end of this document)
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LH6000 configurations with HP Rack Storage/12s and
Microsoft Cluster Server.
These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF) and provide extended
availability.
The specific configuration certified and supported by both Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft is
defined, as are other guidelines to assist you in configuring your clustered NetServers.
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.
