Cluster Configuration Guide

21 March 2001

(see Versions at the end of this document)

Introduction

This document defines the supported HP NetServer LP2000r configurations using the HP Rack Storage/12FC

and MicrosoftCluster Server and one or two HP Rack Storage/12s. 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 a Racked Cluster

• Cluster

• SPUs

• Local and Shared Storage

• Intra-cluster and Client LANs

• Shared Storage Cabling

Cluster

Type of SPUs HP NetServer LP2000r

Each node must be the same SPU, but may have different clock speeds,

main memory sizes, cache sizes, and number of CPUs.

Number of nodes 2

Shared Storage HP Rack Storage/12FC with two FCArray Cards, HP disks, and an HP

D8602B HBA in each server. See Shared Storage below.

LANs:

Client LAN Any that is HP and Microsoftapproved. See Client LAN below.

For a SPOFless cluster, two D5013B NICs configured with AFT is

recommended (Add one NIC and pair with embedded).

Intra-cluster

(Heartbeat) LAN Embedded NIC with crossover cable. See Intra-cluster LAN below.

Power source Direct from power mains, power conditioner or uninterruptible power

1For more information about configuring a SPOFless cluster, refer to the HP white paper, High Availability

MSCS Cluster Solution on the HP NetServers, HA Planning website.

Driver For embedded SCSI, use SYM_U3.SYS version 5.05 or later.

For NetRAID-xSi, or

For NetRAID-xM, use MRAIDNT.SYS version 4.05 or later.

Cabinets (Physical drive

location) SPU internal drive bays or HP external drive cabinet (e.g., HP Rack

Storage/12), any number.

Disk drives (hot swap or

fixed) Must be HP.

LANs

Intra-cluster (Heartbeat) LAN Client LAN
