with
HP Rack Storage/12FC
Cluster Configuration Guide
21 March 2001
(see Versions at the end of this document)
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LP1000r configurations using the HP Rack Storage/12FC
and MicrosoftCluster 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
Microsoftis 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 LP1000r
Each node must be the same model 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 2 FCArray Cards, HP disks, and using an
HP D8602A HBA in each server. See Shared Storage below.
LANs:
Client LAN Any NIC that is HP and Microsoftapproved. See Client LAN below.
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.
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.
