Overview of an HP NetServer LH Pro Cluster

Installation

NOTE

Hewlett-Packard does not support nor recommend the installation of clustered HP NetServer systems using

Microsoft Cluster Server software unless installed by an HP Cluster Certified Installer.

An HP NetServer LH Pro cluster provides a reliable low-cost, increased-availability solution for critical

applications. The basic cluster consists of two HP NetServer LH Pro systems coupled to one (or two) HP Storage

System/6 using HP NetRAID adapters. Both HP NetServers run Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition,

which includes Microsoft Cluster Server software.

The operating system files, application files, and any other files local to one system are stored on a hot swap disk on

each system. Both the LH Pro cluster "nodes," referred to throughout this document as System A and System B (see

the following illustration), share the drives located in the HP Storage System/6. The two HP NetServers share the

drives using an HP NetRAID adapter housed in each system.

Base Configuration for an HP NetServer LH Pro Cluster

Required Hardware and Software

In addition to the required hardware and software components listed below, you will, during the course of cluster

installation, be required to supply the following:

•Minimum of three IP addresses, one for each System (A and B), and one for the HP NetServer cluster

•Cluster and node names (limited to 15 or less alphanumeric characters)

•Subnet mask

•MS domain account name and password
