Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LH3000 configurations with HP Rack Storage/12s and
Microsoft Cluster Server.
This configuration minimizes single points of failure (SPOF) and provides 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 configuration supported by HP.
Any deviance to this configuration can result in an inoperative
cluster or an operating cluster with degraded performance, hidden SPOFs, etc., and therefore will not be
supported by HP.
