QuickSpecs
In a single controller configuration or when dual controllers are configured as active/passive (standby),
mixing clusters with single nodes is supported. For example you may mix three Microsoft (Windows Server
2003 or Windows 2000) clusters and other individual servers, even doing so in a heterogeneous server
operating system environment. Windows Server 2003 allows a single cluster of up to eight nodes.
To see Cluster Configuration Support Matrices that support the listings on the Microsoft Windows Server
Catalog, refer to:

Single-path (single controller, non-Secure Path) NetWare clustering has been successfully tested up to a
12-node cluster. NetWare clusters employing Secure Path (dual controller, dual HBAs) are limited to six
nodes. Multiple NetWare clusters (and single servers) may have concurrent access with no limitation
inherent to the MSA1500 cs.
Up to a 16-node Linux cluster (single controller, non-Secure Path) utilizing SteelEye LifeKeeper for Linux
clustering software has been tested and is supported. Refer to
http://www.hp.com/go/securepath
for any
restriction with Secure Path.
Up to a 4-node HP-UX cluster (dual controller, non-Secure Path) utilizing HP-UX Service Guard clustering
software has been tested and is supported. Refer to
http://www.hp.com/go/MSA1500cs
, the
Compatibility Guide under technical documents under the support section.
The MSA1500 has the ability to be configured with up to thirty-two LUNs. A configuration of twenty
attached servers has been tested and is supported. More commonly, users have had an average of four
to eight nodes. This can be any combination of hosts or clusters with different operating systems (while
holding fast to the guidelines and limits described in the above paragraphs. Performance within these
guidelines is heavily dependent on the actual number of end users and types of applications being
employed.
