Introduction
This document defines supported HP Netserver LH 6000 configurations with HP Rack Storage/12FC and
Microsoft
Cluster Server.
These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF, SPOFless
1
) 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 Cluster
