Cluster Configuration Guide

15May 2000

Introduction

This document defines a supported cluster using the HP SureStore E Disk Array FC60 and the HP NetServer LH

6000 and Microsoft Cluster Server. This configuration eliminates single points of failure (SPOF), provides

maximum availability, and has been certified by Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. This guide is prescriptive; it

describes a configuration supported by HP. Any deviance to this configuration can result in an inoperative

cluster or an operating cluster with degraded performance, hidden SPOFs, etc., and therefore will not be

supported by HP. For all supported configurations, refer to the HP SureStore E Disk Array FC60 for Windows

Configuration Guide.
