Cluster Configuration Guide
Introduction
This document defines the server cluster configurations supported by Hewlett-Packard for interconnection of
two HP Netserver LC 2000 servers and one HP Surestore VA 7400 disk drive enclosure, with Microsoft
Cluster Server software.
These configurations provide high server cluster availability and minimize single
points of failure (SPOFs).
A configuration certified and supported by both Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft
is included, but any cluster configuration that conforms to the guidelines of this document will be supported
by Hewlett-Packard.
Deviations from the supported configurations can result in an inoperative cluster, an
operating cluster with degraded performance, or hidden SPOFs.
Therefore, deviations are not supported.
For
revision/update information on this document, refer to

on page 8.
