RE: Exchange 2000 Recovery
We've been running 3 Compaq Exchange (2-E55, 1-E2K) clusters on a Compaq MA12000 SAN now for over a year. All of the problems I've had have been because of SAN problems. The clusters have worked fine. We have had controller, disk and Secure Path problems. Just recently I lost one of the mirrored drives on one of my transaction log volumes. While it was rebuilding with a hot spare the other drive went. I lost the log file volume. Compaq is still trying to figure out what happened and why we are having so many problems. I must say that Compaq's support has been poor. One thing you absolutely have to do is to keep all of the firmware for the switches, disks, controllers, Secure Path (or whatever software you are going to use to negotiate the multiple data paths), and host bus adapters up to date. One note---we were told by Compaq before we purchased the SAN that we would be able to upgrade the firmware on one controller while the other controller was still operating--thus, no downtime. This is not the case. Our Compaq engineer has told us that both controllers need to be taken offline for the upgrade--thus, lots of downtime. Clustering and SAN is about the most complicated Exchange configuration you can have. I'm not convinced that it's worth the cost and aggravation. -Original Message- From: Depp, Dennis M.

I was told that can't happen... well, it did... I did at least 6 recoveries in a 12 month span with 2 being all 8700 mailboxes and the others being 4300 each time. This FINALLY convinced the people with money that this wasn't a smart strategy and they finally allowed me to move back to the 'many small servers' approach that I prefer... yes, I take a hit on SIS (8700 mailboxes on currently 6 production servers... I'm backing up 200GB nightly.. full backups)... since our move back to off-the-shelf (but MS HCL hardware) servers, we've had no outages.

John is a little off with his description... this is our current approach and it seems to work very well in my test restores.

Split Exchange 5.5 org
Subject: Split 1 5.5 Org into 2 E2K Orgs I am planning a project to split an existing Exchange 5.5 Organization into 2 Exchange 2000 Organizations. Today the Exchange 5.5 Org crosses 2 AD forests, with 1 site in each forest. This is a loose relationship between forests. Exchange 2000 will make me split into 2 Exchange Organizations so that each forest can manage its own Exchange Servers. 1 site (the more powerful forest) will be upgraded in place to Exchange 2000. The other site will deal with the implications. I am working on a theory that I may be able to use the Exchange 5.5 Organization to create both Exchange 2000 Organizations. Since there are two separate forests, could I install ADC for each forest using the Exchange 5.5 site for each respective forest, then run /ForestPrep to create 2 separate Exchange 2000 Organizations that I can then upgrade in place for both?

RE: Exchange on Shark SAN solution
In two weeks we will be migrating our Exchange storage to a Compaq SAN. With Compaq you can specify a preferred path to disks so that a specific server or cluster has access to those disks--no other system has access unless you configure the SAN to allow it. The default for Windows systems is to allow access to all disks. You have to disallow this before bringing the system online. In our testing the Compaq SAN worked fine. -Original Message- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 11:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange on Shark SAN solution We are running our 2k server on a XIOTECH box.

My questions are 2 fold: For those of you running on SANs that are shared with other applications, was there a specific way to dedicate a certain number of drives to Exchange so that it doesn't have to share them with other applications to ensure best performance? All opinions would be much appreciated since the SAN world is new to me and it seems like there are many different ways to configure them.

If that does not work then modify the registry value that holds the timeout setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sybari Software\6.0\EngineDownloadTimeout This value is measured in seconds and is set to 120 (decimal) by default. Changing it to 300 (5 minutes) usually resolved any timeout problems. Keep in mind this registry change, the Antigen and Exchange services DON'T require restarting.
