Hi Paul,
Unfortunately, this server is not clustered. I built another server
similar to it. The production server is connected to the SAN. Suppose
I want to disconnect the SAN and reconnect it to the new lab server; I
think the shared folders will not be shared anymore on the lab server.
Do you know where in the registry the sharenames are located? I would
like to copy the registry key from one server to another. Or I need a
script that copies the sharenames from the old server to the new server
without losing any data.
Thanks,
Phil

How exactly do you plan to failover to this server (at least,
that's what I presume you want to do) ?
First option that springs to mind is setting up a two-node
cluster, letting the cluster-resources reside on the SAN disks. That
way, if one of the servers fails, everything'll smoothly transfer to the
other server.
Keep in mind, however, that during the transfer connections to
open files will hiccup (or even completely falter).
The nice part about clustering the lot is that you can just
maintain the resource per se, instead of having to configure folders etc
on two separate servers.
Regards,
Paul

Hi,
I am working on building a recovery server for a Windows 2003
file server. This file server is connected to the SAN and contains many
shared folders. How could I configure the recovery server with the same
shared folder if I connected it to the same SAN volumes.?
Thanks,
Philo
