I have setup a 2+1 cluster node in our lab (two active one passive)as back-end server plus a front-end server. It looks like that the cluster works as far as when one shuts down a node the passive node takes over the services of that node, or even when the network cable is unplugged. However, there are three qustions that I have not been able to answer or find any on, would anyone have any insight, any help would be appreciated? they are: 1. when one node is shut down, the services are seen in the cluster administrator to be taken over by the passive node Should not the services fall back to the original node when it is on line again? Or must this be done manually which then does it not mean that the serivces to be moved must first be taken offline and then the ownership moved which defeats clustering purpose?
2. When the node which had taken over all the services was shut down , I got errors that MTA data could not be saved and looking at the cluster administrator on the first node it says that the cluster has failed! But should not the first node server take over immediately (10 secs)? 3. In all the papers that I read, it is mentioned that if one has a front-end server that on each exchange virtual node an HTTP connection be mapped to the front-end. Follwing the procedure of creating the HTTP, I can not start the service unless I take offline the automatically created HTTP service which was created when Exchange SA was installed by the server itself! But according to the papers I should have, not only the one which was created automatially but also have the mapped ones too!? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
