HP NetServer LC 2000
with
NetRAID-3Si (HP Rack Storage/12)
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.
