HP Netserver LH 6000 with HP Rack Storage/12FC & HP Rack Storage/12 Windows 2000 Advanced Server Cluster Configuration Guide 15 May 2001 (see Versions at the end of this document) 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, SPOFless1) 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 • Cluster • SPUs • Local and Shared Storage • Intra-cluster and Client LANs • Shared Storage Cabling Cluster Type of SPUs Installation Number of nodes Shared Storage LANs: Client LAN Intra-cluster Power source HP Netserver LH 6000 Each node must be the same SPU, but may have different clock speeds, main memory sizes, cache sizes, and number of CPUs. Pedestal or racked 2 HP Rack Storage/12FC with two FCArray Cards, HP disks, and using a HP D8602A HBA in each server. See Shared Storage below. Any NIC that is HP and Microsoft® approved. See Client LAN below. Embedded NIC with crossover cable. See Intra-cluster LAN below. Direct from power mains, power conditioner or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) using any power conditioner or UPS. Redundant power distribution units (PDU's) are strongly recommended. 1 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. 1
