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.
