Cluster Configuration Guide

21 March 2001

(see Versions at the end of this document)

Introduction

This document defines the supported HP NetServer LP2000r configurations using the HP Rack Storage/12FC

and MicrosoftCluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF, SPOFless1) 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.

What's Defined in a Racked Cluster

• Cluster

• SPUs

• Local and Shared Storage

• Intra-cluster and Client LANs

• Shared Storage Cabling

Cluster

Type of SPUs HP NetServer LP2000r

Each node must be the same SPU, but may have different clock speeds,

main memory sizes, cache sizes, and number of CPUs .

Number of nodes 2

Shared Storage HP Rack Storage/12FC with 2 FCArray Cards, HP disks, and using an

HP D8602B HBA in each server. See Shared Storage below.

LANs:

Client LAN Any NIC that is HP and Microsoftapproved. See Client LAN below.

For a SPOFless cluster, two D5013B NICs configured with AFT is

recommended (Add one NIC and pair with embedded).

1For more information about configuring a SPOFless cluster, refer to the HP white paper, High Availability

MSCS Cluster Solution on the HP NetServers, HA Planning website.

Intra-cluster

(Heartbeat) LAN Embedded NIC with crossover cable, or, configure as a VLAN through an

Ethernet switch. See Intra-cluster LAN below.

Power source Direct from power mains, power conditioner or uninterruptible power

supply (UPS) using any power conditioner or UPS. Redundant power

distribution units (PDU’s) are strongly recommended.

System software:

Navigator version L.20.00 or later

Operating System

Service Pack Microsoft Windows2000 Advanced Server

SP1 or later

SPU

Model HP NetServer LP2000r

Clock speed 1 GHz

No. of CPUs 2

BIOS version 4.06.16 or later

CPU cache Any size

RAM 256 MB minimum. Must be HP.

Local storage See Local Storage below.

I/O slots Added cards may be installed in any appropriate slot, keeping in mind

the server's default boot order as listed below:

Default Boot Order IDE CD-ROM, FDD, PCI-1, PCI-2, PCI-3, Embedded SCSI

Microsoftand HP

Certified

Configuration

P1 – Local storage (NetRAID-1M)

Booted from NetRAID-1M

Storage

Local

Controller May use embedded SCSI, NetRAID-1Si, NetRAID-3Si, NetRAID-1M,

or NetRAID-2M

For SPOFless, recommend NetRAID-xM with internal drives in RAID-

5, or another fault-tolerant RAID level.

Driver For embedded SCSI, use SYM_U3.SYS, version 5.07.00 or later.

For NetRAID-xSi, use MRAID35X.SYS, version 2.66 or later.

For NetRAID-xM, use MRAID2K.SYS version 5.20 (Navigator L.20.00

or later)

Cabinets (Physical drive

location) SPU internal drive bays or HP external drive cabinet (e.g., HP Rack

Storage/12), any number.

Disk drives Must be HP (hot swap or fixed).

SCSI bus Any HP cables that meet SCSI specifications and any SCSI bus speed.

SCSI Ids Any

Driver HP D8602B - AFCW2K.SYS 3.0.3245.1

RAID level 0, 1, 3, 5, 10

For SPOFless configurations, a fault-tolerant RAID type, e.g. RAID 5, is

recommended for all shared storage.

Cabinet HP Rack Storage 12/FC – D5991A

RAID arrays Not more than 8 physical drives per logical array and not more than 8

LUNs are permitted per cluster.
