Introduction
This document defines the configurations that Hewlett-Packard supports for the HP NetServer LPr, HP
Rack Storage/12 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.
