Introduction
This document defines the configurations that Hewlett-Packard supports for using the HP NetServer LXr 8500
with the HP Rack Storage/12FC 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.
