Overview of an HP NetServer LH Pro Cluster
Installation
Hewlett-Packard does not support nor recommend the installation of clustered HP NetServer systems using
Microsoft Cluster Server software unless installed by an HP Cluster Certified Installer.
An HP NetServer LH Pro cluster provides a reliable low-cost, increased-availability solution for critical
applications. The basic cluster consists of two HP NetServer LH Pro systems coupled to one (or two) HP Storage
System/6 using HP NetRAID adapters. Both HP NetServers run Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition,
which includes Microsoft Cluster Server software.
The operating system files, application files, and any other files local to one system are stored on a hot swap disk on
each system. Both the LH Pro cluster "nodes," referred to throughout this document as System A and System B (see
the following illustration), share the drives located in the HP Storage System/6. The two HP NetServers share the
drives using an HP NetRAID adapter housed in each system.
Required Hardware and Software
In addition to the required hardware and software components listed below, you will, during the course of cluster
installation, be required to supply the following:
Minimum of three IP addresses, one for each System (A and B), and one for the HP NetServer cluster
Cluster and node names (limited to 15 or less alphanumeric characters)
Subnet mask
MS domain account name and password
