Microsoft Cluster Installation Documentation

for

HP NetServer LPr

with HP Rack Storage/12FC and HP Rack Storage/12

To assist you in installing your HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster, this file contains the documents

listed below in one pdf file.

•Installation Overview - This page provides an overview of the installation steps provided in

the Installation Guide.

•Configuration Guide - This guide provides configuration information specific to your cluster

configuration that you will need during installation of your cluster.

•HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster Installation Guide - This is the first of two documents used

to install the cluster. It covers the installation of all cluster supported HP NetServers and the

cluster software, and references the Shared Storage Supplement for installation and setup of the

shared storage.

•Shared Storage Supplement - This supplement is specific to the shared storage device you are

using and must be used with the installation guide. It provides instructions for installing and

setting up your shared storage devices.

Cluster Configuration Guide

(see Versions at the end of this document)

Introduction

This document defines the supported HP NetServer LPr using the HP Rack Storage/12FC and Microsoft Cluster

Server and one or two HP Rack Storage/12s. This configuration minimizes single points of failure (SPOF),

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

prescriptive; it describes the 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.

What’s Defined in a Racked Cluster

•SPUs

•Local and Shared Storage
