Cluster Configuration Guide
Introduction
This document defines the server cluster configurations supported by Hewlett-Packard for interconnection of
two HP Netserver LC 2000 servers, one HP Rack Storage/12FC disk drive enclosure, and one or two optional
HP Rack Storage/12 disk drive enclosures, with Microsoft
Cluster Server software.
These configurations
provide high server cluster availability and minimize single points of failure (SPOFs).
NOTE
Both SPOF and SPOFless configurations are included in this document.
For more
information about configuring a SPOFless cluster, refer to the HP white paper,
High
Availability MSCS Cluster Solution
on the HP NetServers, HA Planning website.
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
Versions
on page 10.
Cluster Configuration Elements
This section identifies the hardware components, system software, network interfaces, and power distribution
arrangement required to build an operational server cluster supported by Hewlett-Packard.
