Microsoft Cluster Installation
Documentation
To assist you in installing your HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster, this file contains three
separate documents combined into one pdf file.
•
Configuration Guide
- This guide provides configuration information specific to your
cluster configuration that you will need during the installation of your cluster.
•
HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster Installation Guide
- This is the first of two
documents used to install the cluster.
It covers the installation of all cluster supported
HP NetServers and the cluster software, and references the Shared Storage Supplement
for installation and setup of the shared storage.
•
Shared Storage Supplement
- This supplement is specific to the shared storage device
you are using and must be used with the installation guide.
It provides instructions for
installing and setting up your shared storage devices.
