Compaq ProLiant
Cluster Solutions provide
high availability for
applications and data
in a business-critical
environment. The

D E S C R I P T I O N
Compaq ProLiant Cluster solutions provide high
availability for applications and data in a business-
critical environment.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 exploits
Compaq’s industry-leading server products, Compaq
Fibre Channel Storage, Ethernet or ServerNet
interconnect and Compaq’s leading installation and
systems management utilities.
The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 utilizes the
industry standard Microsoft Cluster Server software
for cluster operation and management.
Compaq provides a cluster kit which contains the
components required to connect two Compaq servers
and Compaq Fibre Channel Storage systems together
in a cluster. This cluster kit contains documentation
and an interconnect cable.

Maximum Availability, Minimum Cost
Because they are built from industry-standard
components, Compaq ProLiant Clusters deliver
high levels of application availability at a much
lower cost than traditional, proprietary cluster
solutions. The Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100
utilizes Compaq industry-leading servers, the fast
and reliable Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System,
cluster node interconnect options providing 10 Mb/s
to 100 MB/s throughput and Compaq installation and
systems management software to provide an
integrated high-availability solution.
Investment Protection
Both existing and new Compaq servers are certified
for Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 configurations.
This means that customers can build clusters using
existing servers, or a mix of old and new servers.
Integrated Solutions
Compaq ProLiant Clusters integrate hardware and
software to provide a total solution for business-
critical environments. Compaq servers, interconnect
options, system management software and
implementation documentation have all been
thoroughly tested in cluster configurations. Compaq’s
close relationship with application partners has
resulted in the development of cluster application
TechNotes to assist in the rapid deployment of major
business applications on Compaq ProLiant Clusters.
Sophisticated Cluster Management
Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 configurations
exploit Compaq SmartStart and Compaq Insight
Manager software to enable rapid installation,
configuration and deployment of clustered
environments throughout the enterprise. Compaq
SmartStart and Compaq Insight Manager are now
“cluster enabled” allowing easy installation and
sophisticated cluster and systems management either
locally or from remote locations.

Servers
All models of the ProLiant 850R, 1600, 2500, 3000,
4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500 and 7000 servers are
supported in a cluster. Some server mixes are also

server combinations.
Interconnect
Compaq strongly recommends the use of a private
network connection between cluster nodes. An
Ethernet crossover cable is included in the Compaq
ProLiant Cluster/F100 Kit for this purpose.
Tandem’s ServerNet interconnect technology is also
supported in cluster configurations.
Storage
Compaq ProLiant Cluster/F100 configurations have
been certified with Compaq Fibre Channel Storage
Systems as shared storage.
Supported Operating Systems
Microsoft
1 NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition
(includes Microsoft Cluster Server).
