DC.02.00 Cluster Configuration Guide
Introduction
This document defines the server cluster configurations supported by Hewlett-Packard for interconnection of
two to four HP Netserver LXr 8500r servers sharing storage from one or more HP XP256, XP512, or XP48
disk arrays, and running Microsoft
Windows
2000 Datacenter Server software.
These configurations
provide high server cluster availability and minimize single points of failure (SPOFs).
A configuration
certified and supported by both Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft
is included, but any cluster configuration
that conforms to the guidelines of this document will be supported by Hewlett-Packard.
Deviations from the
supported configurations can result in an inoperative cluster, an operating cluster with degraded performance,
or hidden SPOFs.
Therefore, deviations are not supported.
For revision/update information on this
document, refer to
Versions
on page 8.
