Title: Win2k Cluster Configuration
|
That
is great to hear. We are finishing our migration to E2K and will be in
Native Exchange mode before we attempt the cluster build (so no SRS
needed). We will a setup similar to yours with a Clariion
unit for the quorum and multiple information stores.
Thanks
for the info.

Absolutely. We can distribute the services
between the two machines, but it works much better keeping it A/P. Our mdbdata
log drives are all on a Symmetrix box with the quorums. Failover works without
a hitch.
ONE MAJOR ISSUE: If you are setting up your E2K
as an upgrade from 5.5, make sure that the first machine you install into the
Exchange 5.5 site is NOT a cluster. And it MUST stay up for as long as the 5.5
systems stay around. This is because we found out (the hard way) that the Site
Replication Service is NOT clusterable. And it cannot be moved to another
system, it must be the first E2K server to join the 5.5
organization.
Other than that, we've been flying.

I'm assuming 2-node Active/Passive clusters for E2K? Any issues
or gotchas other than the stuff you already mentioned? How well does
E2K failover?

We've got 3 clusters running in ours, 2
Exchange 2K, one file and we are about to build a SQL cluster. Only issues
are making sure you have an IP for everything (each NIC, each cluster
group incl. application cluster groups) and a name registered in DNS for
the cluster (should do it automatically).

Does anyone know of any issues with running a
Win2K Cluster configuration as a member server within an ADS
domain?
Thanks in advance,
