Single Copy Cluster --Shared Storage--At any time, only one server controls the storage.

Host Computer: Test1.work.com

Create a user: ClusterAdmin in the domain

Assuming two virtual servers: Server1 and Server2 have been set up and Windows server 2003 Enterprise edition--32bit is installed. And server1 and server2 are joined to the domain.

Add work\ClusterAdmin to Local Administrators group of server1 and server2;

Turn off both server1 and server2

Preparing the two virtual servers for a cluster

Turn on Server1; Server2 is still off.

Open Disk Management Console and initialize the new disks. Create partitions: Z drive for 500MB --basic type and Y drive for 1GB --basic type. Label Z drive as quorum and Y drive as data.

Configuring the Internal NIC as follows:

Turn off Server1;

Turn on Server2;

Server2 has the same configurations, except that the IP Addresses are different: 10.0.0.2 and 191.121.9.22.

Turn off server2;

Turn on server1;

Cluster Administrator

Create a New Cluster Wizard

Cluster Name: myCluster

Computer name: Server1

Complete the wizard;

Leave the Server1 on and turn on server2;

Still work on Server1;

Cluster Administrator

Add a node wizard;

Make sure both Cluster Group and Group 0 have the preferred owner of Server1 and Server2;

Configure the Internal NIC as:

Test the cluster;

Right-click "Cluster Group" -- Move Group

Right-click "Cluster Group" --Move Group

Install Exchange 2007 SP1-32bit on Server1

Close the setup windows;

Install Exchange 2007 SP1-32bit on Server2

Cluster Administrator

Shutdown server1; Server2 takes over the Exchange Resources;

Because I put the mailbox database on the shared storage (Y: drive), it is better move the Y: drive into ClusterMailbox group. When failover occurs, the whole group will fail over.

Some how, my host computer (Test1.work.com) cannot ping server1 and server2, visa versa.

Virtual Server Administration Web Site --Create a New Virtual Network

Connect the server1 and server2 to the New Virtual Network
