Cluster Configuration Guide
22 February 2001
(see Versions at the end of this document)
Introduction
This document defines supported HP NetServer LC 2000 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 LC 2000
Each node must be the same model SPU, but may have different sizes of
main memory, cache, and different 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
D8602A HBA in the server. See Shared Storage below.

1For more information about configuring a SPOFless cluster, refer to the HP white paper, High Availability
MSCS Cluster Solutionon the HP NetServers, HA Planning website.
2
For a SPOFless cluster, two D5013B NICs configured with AFT is
recommended.
Intra-cluster
(Heartbeat) LAN Embedded NIC with crossover cable, or, configure as a VLAN through an
Ethernet switch. See Intra-cluster LAN below.
Power source Direct from power mains, power conditioner or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) using any power conditioner or UPS. Redundant power
distribution units (PDU’s) are strongly recommended.

The intra-cluster LAN may only be
used for cluster node
communication via a crossover
cable or VLAN. It may not be used
for client communication.
