Windows 2003 RC2 clustering

Does anyone know what is currently not supported on non-packaged clusters? I want to get a head start on the testing of our RA4100 and SAN based clusters. I need to see if I can mitigate any issues. Does SecurePath for Win2K work on Win2003? That would be the primary hindrance I can see unless they do not have the HBA drivers yet.

Here's the information from the "implementing Microsoft Windows .NET Server 2003 Release
Candidate 2 on ProLiant servers" document from HP found here: http://h18001.www1.hp.com/partners/microsoft/net/support.html

The supported ProLiant Cluster Solutions for Windows .NET Enterprise Server 2003 RC2 include:
??? ProLiant DL380 G2 Packaged Cluster
ProLiant CL380 Packaged Cluster
The ProLiant Cluster HA/F100, ProLiant Cluster HA/F200, ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 for MA8000, and
ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 for Enterprise Virtual Array configurations are not supported for Windows
.NET Enterprise Server 2003 RC2. These ProLiant Cluster Solutions will be supported at a later date.
For more information on ProLiant Cluster support for Windows .NET Server 2003 RC2, refer to the
ProLiant Packaged Clusters white paper posted on the Windows .NET Server 2003 support page at

Thanks Don, but I was hoping for something that was not on the official corporate posting.
