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.

LANs:

Client LAN Any NIC that is HP and Microsoft approved. See Client LAN 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.

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.
