HP has qualified and supports the following capabilities with Integrity Superdome and MSCS:
Active/Active and Active/Passive MSCS clusters
Partition size: Any size from 2 processors up to 64 processors can be in a cluster
HP supports anywhere from 2 nodes in an MSCS cluster with Superdome to 8 nodes
Cluster nodes can be within the same Superdome cabinet or between different Superdome
cabinets co located at the same site
MSCS clusters can be between similar partitions of processor capacity (i.e. 8 processor partition
clustered to 8 processor partition, 16 processor partition clustered to 16 processor partition)
MSCS clusters can also be between dissimilar partitions of processor capacity (i.e. 16 processor
partition clustered to 8 processor partition, 32 processor partition clustered to 16 processor
partition). Note: You and the customer should work with HP Support to determine the appropriate
configuration based on the availability level that is needed by the customer. As an example, if the
customer wants a Service Level Agreement based on application availability, then perhaps an
exact mirror of the production partition be set up for failover (i.e. similar processor capacity). In
any event, please ensure that the proper amount of hardware resources on the target server is
available for failover purposes.
HP Cluster Extention XP is a disaster recovery solution that extends local clusters over
metropolitan-wide distance. It now supports MSCS on Windows Integrity with XP48/XP512,
XP128/XP1024, XP12000.
For high availability purposes with MSCS, it is recommended (but not required) that customers also use
HP SecurePath software (v4.0c SP1) with HP storage for multi pathing and load balancing capabilities in
conjunction with the fiber channel HBA, AB466A or AB467A. Additionally, the NCU (NIC Configuration
Utility), which is provided from HP on the SmartSetup CD that ships with Windows partitions, can also be
used in conjunction with MSCS clusters with the HP supported Windows NIC cards.
Additionally, customers can see the completion of our certification for the Microsoft Windows catalog at
the following URL:

Microsoft requires hardware vendors to complete this certification - also called "Windows logo-ing."
