HP NetServer LXr 8000 with NetRAID (HP Rack Storage/12 and Storage/8) Cluster Configuration Guide 16 November 1999 (see Version History at the end of this document) Introduction This document defines the supported HP NetServer LXr 8000 configurations with HP Rack Storage/12s and /8s and 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.
