Cluster Configuration Guide  
14 November 2000  
(see Versions at the end of this document)  
Introduction  
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LC 2000 configuration with HP Rack Storage/12s 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.

allowed on a SCSI channel. Any combination of disk models is allowed  
in a cluster.

LEGEND  
Color coding depicts that NetRAID  
channels must not be crossed as  
they connect from one NetServer  
to the other through the shared  
storage cabinet.  
NOTES:  
1. This diagram depicts using 3  
Rack Storage/12s. You can use from  
1 to 3 storage cabinets..  
2. Another
 
NetRAID-xSi Adapter may be  
installed in server for local  
storage.This diagram depicts using slot P5  
for the shared storage NetRAID-3Si.  
3. Cables between the servers and  
shared storage cabinets can be any  
HP LVD SCSI (offset) cable up to 10  
meters. See “Cables” for Rack  
Storage/12 in the guide for a list of
