Cluster Configuration Guide

(see Versions at the end of this document)

Introduction

This document defines the configurations that Hewlett-Packard supports for the HP Netserver LH 6000,

HP Rack Storage/12 and Microsoft



Cluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of

failure (SPOF) 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.
