Cluster Configuration Guide
July 31, 1998
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LXr Pro with HP A3661B High Availability Disk Array
Model 30/FC (LXr Pro/ Model 30-FC) configurations for Microsoft Cluster Server. These configurations
minimize single points of failure and provide maximum availability. They have been certified by Hewlett-
Packard and Microsoft.
This guide is prescriptive; it describes the configurations supported by HP. If you create any configuration not
expressly allowed by this guide it will not be supported by HP. HP NetServer clusters have been carefully
designed and tested to allow as much configuration flexibility as possible consistent with high-availability.

Basic Configuration with Single Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Hub
Port connections to this
hub are for example
only. You can use any
port, except for port 10
on Long Wave Hubs.
The remaining ports can
be used for connection
of additional Disk Arrays.

Ports of the hub.
Port connections to
these hubs are for
example only. You can
use any port, except for
port 10 on Long Wave
Hubs. The remaining
ports can be used for
connection of additional
Disk Arrays.
See Shared Storage
Cables for a list of
cables that can be
connected between
hubs. Port 10 is used
exclusively in Long
