HP LC2000r - NetServer - 128 MB RAM Configuration Manual

NetRAID-3Si (HP Rack Storage/12 and Storage/8)
(see Version History at the end of this document)
Introduction
This document defines the supported HP NetServer LXr 8000 configurations with HP Rack Storage/12s
and /8s and Microsoft Cluster Server. These configurations minimize single points of failure (SPOF),
provide maximum availability, and have been certified by Hewlett-Packard and 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.
