Hi Laura,

I read the attached link before I posted here but I think I might have 
misunderstood the purpose of HOST and PORT!  I entered my own details in 
there... Should I simply leave the string as you defined below as it knowledge 
base article states it will change host and port itself... If so, my apologies 
for troubling you!

I will try this tonight when I get home!

Chris

Exchange 2016 servers are up and running

Hi Chris, something like:

check_tcp -H HOST -p PORT

should work.

I guess you already accessed to the article about FG 
https://www.zenloadbalancer.com/knowledge-base/howtos/farmguardian-quick-start-configuration/

Hope this helps.
Kind Regards.

Hi Laura,


My current configuration consists of two farms, one on 
mail.domain.com:443<http://mail.domain.com:443> and the other on 
mail.domain.com:25<http://mail.domain.com:25>; this allows me to load balance 
exchange from my external IP.  I might say that this is a homelab used for 
learning and testing and I'm slowly getting to grips with the whole process.


What I want to happen is that when an exchange 2016 server drops out for what 
ever reason, the loadbalancer then is able to detect this and automatically 
switch to the other IP of the second exchange server without too much of a 
delay; the DAG switches quickly but it takes a while (2m+) for the outlook 
connection to move to the new server.


I played around with some guardian settings but I just lost connectivity to the 
servers, so I deleted them and do not have it enabled currently.  I'm after the 
correct syntax to achieve the outcome described above?  Sorry if this is 
simple, but as I said I'm learning and got stuck [&#X1f60a]


Cheers,


Chris

Hi Chris, what is your current configuration?

Do you have already setup some farm guardian checks?

Regards.

Hi

I’m playing with exchange 2016 and have a Database Availability Group setup 
which does HA fantastically well.  What I want to do is ensure that clients 
move seamlessly across to the other remaining exchange server should the one 
they’re connected to go down.

Presently, I have round robin DNS active which is load balancing the servers 
fine, but there is a quite a delay before I can reconnect on to the new 
exchange server.  I would like farm guardian to check the servers so that as 
soon as one goes down it can switch connections to the remaining good server.

I presume this is possible?

Any directions around the correct settings would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Chris
