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 up to eight HP Rack Storage/12 disk drive enclosure(s), 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.
