HP NetServer LPr  
with  
XP256 (Fibre Channel or SCSI)  
Cluster Configuration Guide  
08 February, 2000  
Introduction  
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LPr configurations with the XP256 and Microsoft  
Cluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF), provide maximum  
availability, and have been certified by Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft. 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 Cluster  
Cluster  
SPUs  
Local and Shared Storage  
Intra-cluster and Client LANs  
Shared Storage Cabling  
Cluster  
Type of SPUs  
HP NetServer LPr.  
Each node must be the same model SPU, but may have different clocks  
speeds, main memory sizes, cache sizes, and number of CPUs (2, 3, or 4).  
Number of nodes  
Shared Storage  
LANs:  
2
XP256 with FC or SCSI connections. See Shared Storage below.

Shared Storage Configurations  
Point to Point  
Direct Fibre Channel or SCSI connections. Each SCSI Port on XP256 has  
two available connection points (internal logical Y connection); one is  
cabled to Server #1 of the cluster, the other to Server #2 (see diag 1, page  
5).  
Fibre Channel Hub  
Model  
A3724A HP-10 port Short Wave FC Hub  
A4839A HP-10 port Long Wave FC Hub  
1 per SPOF cluster  
No. of hubs  
No. of clusters/hub

A5624A/AZ Brocade 2800 FC Switch  
Fabric Support  
No. of switches  
FL Port (Turn EPL to OFF for desired ports)  
1 per SPOF cluster, 2 per SPOFless cluster  
No. of clusters/switch SPOF: 1, SPOFless: 4 cluster nodes (See pg.5)

LANs  
Intra-cluster (Heartbeat) LAN  
Client LAN  
LAN connection  
HP D5954A crossover cable or  
equivalent  
Any LAN  
The intra-cluster LAN may only be  
used for cluster node communication  
via a crossover cable. It may not be  
used for client communication.  
NIC:  
Model  
HP D5013A (10/100TX PCI)  
3.27.00.0001 or later  
Any that is on both the HP Tested  
Products List and the Microsoft  
Hardware Compatibility List.  
Driver  
Any driver  
NOTE If the NIC used is the  
same as the Intra-cluster LAN,  
then the Client LAN must use the  
same driver as the Intra-cluster  
LAN.  
No. of NICs  
SPU I\O slot

Shared Storage Cabling  
This part of the guide defines the allowable cabling configurations for clusters using the HP NetServer  
LPr and the XP256. Only these cabling configurations and cables are supported.
