Cluster Configuration Guide
13 October 2000
(see Versions at the end of this document)
Introduction
This document defines supported HP NetServer LH 3000 configurations with 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 Cluster
Cluster
SPUs
Local and Shared Storage
Intra-cluster and Client LANs
Shared Storage Cabling
Cluster
Type of SPUs HP NetServer LH 3000
Each node must be the same model SPU, but may have different sizes of
main memory, cache, and CPU clock speeds.
Installation Pedestal or racked
Number of nodes 2
Shared Storage HP Rack Storage/12FC with 2 FCArray Cards, HP disks, and using a HP

supply (UPS) using any power conditioner or UPS. Redundant power
distribution units (PDU’s) are strongly recommended.
