HP NetServer LXr 8000 with HP A3661B High Availability Disk Array Model 30 / FC Cluster Configuration Guide 13 September 1999 Introduction This document defines the supported HP NetServer LXr 8000 and A3661B High Availability Disk Array Model 30/FC (LXr 8000 / Model 30-FC) configurations for Microsoft Cluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF), provide maximum availability, and have been certified by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. 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.
