Microsoft Cluster Installation Documentation

for

HP NetServer LH3 with HP Rack Storage/12, HP Rack Storage/8

& HP NetRAID-3Si Adapter

To assist you in installing your HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster, this file contains the documents

listed below in one pdf file.

•Installation Overview - This page provides an overview of the installation steps provided in

the Installation Guide.

•Configuration Guide - This guide provides configuration information specific to your cluster

configuration that you will need during installation of your cluster.

•HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster Installation Guide - This is the first of two documents used

to install the cluster. It covers the installation of all cluster supported HP NetServers and the

cluster software, and references the Shared Storage Supplement for installation and setup of the

shared storage.

•Shared Storage Supplement - This supplement is specific to the shared storage device you are

using and must be used with the installation guide. It provides instructions for installing and

setting up your shared storage devices.

Cluster Configuration Guide

18 January 2000

(see Version History at the end of this document)

Introduction

This document defines the supported HP NetServer LH3 configurations with HP Rack Storage/12s and /8s

and Microsoft Cluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF), provide

maximum availability, and have been certified by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. 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

•SPUs

•Local and Shared Storage

•Intra-cluster and Client LANs
