Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LP2000r configurations using the HP Rack Storage/12FC
and Microsoft
Cluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF, SPOFless
1
) 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.
What's Defined in a Racked Cluster
•
Cluster

Type of SPUs
HP NetServer LP2000r
Each node must be the same SPU, but may have different clock speeds,
main memory sizes, cache sizes, and number of CPUs .
Number of nodes
2
Shared Storage
HP Rack Storage/12FC with 2 FCArray Cards, HP disks, and using an
HP D8602B HBA in each server.
See

LANs:
Client LAN
Any NIC that is HP and Microsoft
approved.
See

For a SPOFless cluster, two D5013B NICs configured with AFT is
recommended (Add one NIC and pair with embedded).
