A Node must be specified as a possible owner of a resource in order for us to failover to that Node. Figure 4: Possible owners of the EVS. You must set the dependencies on the System Attendant Resource. The dependencies are the following:. Figure 5: SA — Resource dependencies. Like a normal Exchange installation you must select the administrative group where the Exchange virtual server is created.
You can change the server location in the Routing Group after installation. Figure 7: Select the routing group for the EVS. Figure 8: Exchange Wizard summary. Click Finish to start the creation process. This may take a while because the setup process actually creates all Exchange cluster resources. When the process is complete you will see the following message:. Figure 9: DONE. Note that all Exchange resources are NOT online. Next, we have to bring the System Attendant resource online. Figure You have to bring the System Attendant Online.
Beginning with Windows SP3 Kerberos authentication against clustered virtual servers was added. Before Windows SP3, a clustered virtual server did not have a corresponding Active Directory computer object.
Exchange now supports Kerberos authentication. This is done automatically by the setup process for non-clustered servers. In a cluster environment, these properties are set during the creation of the Exchange virtual server EVS.
This means that a computer object exists in Active Directory for each virtual Exchange server. It is relatively easy to deploy a Windows cluster with Exchange Microsoft has made many extensions and enhancements in Windows and Exchange to ease the Cluster Administrators life.
If the screen in the following illustration is successful, you can continue with your cluster configuration. If not, you have many ways available to you to troubleshoot why it didn't work. You look at the log when the installation is completed but, for now, click the Details button. This produces the dialog box. This is a new add-on for Server and it's extremely handy.
If you look at the previous illustration, you can see check marks next to plus signs. These plus signs can be expanded you see this in the next section to reveal information about the configuration the wizard performed. When you click Details and open the dialog box, you can see the information in a more detailed manner with time stamps and other useful information. Close out of Details and go to the plus signs.
Expand them and look at the contents of the configuration dialog box. The check marks let you know everything was configured correctly and you could move on, but if you want to look into the actual steps and find more details about the configuration, you can inspect them here. Once you finish analyzing the configuration in the next illustration, click the Next button to continue the cluster configuration.
Once you click the Next button, you can see in the following illustration that you have to add the cluster IP address. This was thought out in the redesign plans. This IP address must be publicly accessible or you won't have proper cluster communications.
We analyze all the problems you might have if you misconfigure these settings later but, for now, please add the proper IP address and continue by clicking Next. After you add the IP address, you can click Next to continue. The next dialog box, as shown in the following illustration, lets you use the Cluster Service account. You can now log the node into the domain with this account, the password, and the domain name.
Cluster Configuration dialog box as seen in the following illustration. This is where you must pay strict attention to what kind of quorum device you want configured.
In this dialog box, you have the option to click the Quorum button. Click the Quorum button to open a smaller dialog box. Previously, I mentioned one of the advancements you would see is the addition of a locally placed quorum or a majority node set if you didn't want to configure a shared SCSI bus. The Cluster Service can now be configured without a shared device, but with a separate drive on a single server where resources can be pooled together.
Because you already did a rolling upgrade on the other nodes from Chapter 2, let's configure a brand new two-node cluster with Windows Server with the use of its new features, including selecting the local quorum and the Majority Node Set. In the following illustration, you can see the local quorum configuration and, if you drop the arrow down, you can see the Majority Node Set.
For this exercise, please use Majority set. NOTE When you switch back and forth between the quorum configurations, your proposed configuration re-creates itself to apply the change to the quorum you select. Another note from the beginning of the chapter is a Majority Node Set as seen in the following illustration , which is a new quorum resource that enables you to use something other than a shared disk as a quorum device. Now, the final steps of configuring the cluster are underway.
The next screen you see is the New Server Cluster Wizard, in the next illustration, attempting to finalize your proposed configuration. Everything should run smoothly and no errors should be seen because you've read nearly three chapters on how to preplan your design! You should see the status bar run straight through and you can click Next to continue.
