Cluster Configuration Guide

(see Versions at the end of this document)
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LC 2000 configuration with HP Rack Storage/12FC
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.

Tested Products List and the
Microsoft Hardware
Compatibility List.
Driver Supplied with Microsoft Advanced
Server CD Any driver NOTE If the NIC used is the
same type as the embedded NIC

installed in PCI slots as follows:
HBA in P5
Client LAN in P3
Intra-cluster LAN (embedded NIC)
Fibre-channel HBA
with GBICs
6-port Fibre-channel
Hub with GBICs. The
recommend port
connections are as
shown.
LEGEND
Heavy, dark lines are fibre
channel Optical or Copper
cables. See inside this
