HP NetServer LP2000r with HP Rack Storage/12FC Windows® 2000 Advanced Server Cluster Configuration Guide 21 March 2001 (see Versions at the end of this document) 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, SPOFless1) 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 •SPUs •Local and Shared Storage •Intra-cluster and Client LANs •Shared Storage Cabling Cluster Type of SPUs Number of nodes Shared Storage LANs: Client LAN 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 . 2 HP Rack Storage/12FC with 2 FCArray Cards, HP disks, and using an HP D8602B HBA in each server.
