Cluster Configuration Guide
08 February, 2000
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LXr 8500 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.
