Cluster Configuration Guide

Introduction

This document defines the server cluster configurations supported by Hewlett-Packard for interconnection of

two HP Netserver LP 1000r servers and one or two HP Surestore Disk Storage 2100 disk drive enclosure(s),

with Microsoft



Cluster 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 9.

Cluster Configuration Elements

This section identifies the hardware components, system software, network interfaces, and power distribution

arrangement required to build an operational server cluster supported by Hewlett-Packard. The various

server cluster elements are listed below, and their associated configuration data is detailed in separate tables

and illustrations that follow.

• Server configuration

• Shared storage configuration

• Microsoft



and HP certified server configuration

• Intra-cluster (heartbeat) LAN configuration

• Client LAN configuration

• SCSI cabling and power distribution configuration

• Special notes and warnings

Server Configuration

Parameter Specification
