How to Create a Network Name Resource for an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server Cluster

This topic explains how to create a Network Name resource for use by an Exchange Virtual Server Before you can create a Network Name

resource for the Exchange Virtual Server, you must create an IP Address resource

For detailed instructions about how to create an IP Address resource, see How to Create an IP Address Resource for an Exchange Virtual Server in

a Windows Server Cluster

Before You Begin

Before you perform the procedure in this topic, be aware of the following:

 Before enabling Kerberos authentication, it is strongly recommended that you read Microsoft Knowledge Base article 302389, "Description of the Properties of the Cluster Network Name Resource in Windows

Server 2003" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=3052&kbid=302389)

 The network name resource identifies the Exchange Virtual Server on your network It is also the Exchange Virtual Server name that displays in Exchange System Manager after you create the System Attendant

resource Carefully consider the network name you select, because after creating the Exchange Virtual Server, you cannot rename it

Procedure

To create a Network Name resource for an Exchange Virtual

Server in a Windows Server cluster

1 Open Cluster Administrator

2 Right-click the resource group that will contain the Network Name

resource, click New, and then click Resource

3 The New Resource Wizard starts In the Name box, type EVSName

Network Name, where EVSName is the name of your Exchange

Virtual Server

4 In the Resource type list, select Network Name Verify that the

Group box contains the name of your Exchange Virtual Server, and

then click Next

5 In Possible Owners, under Possible owners, verify that all nodes are listed, and then click Next

6 In Dependencies, under Available resources, select the

<EVSName>IP Address resource for this Exchange Virtual Server,

and then click Add Click Next

7 In Network Name Parameters, in the Name box, type a network

name for the Exchange Virtual Server

Important:

This network name identifies the Exchange Virtual Server on your network It is also the Exchange Virtual Server name that displays

in Exchange System Manager after you create the System

Attendant resource Carefully consider the network name you

select, because after creating the Exchange Virtual Server, you

cannot rename it

The Network Name Parameters dialog box

8 If you are running Windows Server 2003, perform the following steps:

 If your DNS server accepts dynamic updates, and you want the Cluster service to ensure that the DNS host record for this network name is updated before the Network Name resource comes online,

select the DNS Registration Must Succeed check box If you select

this check box, and the network name cannot be registered in DNS

dynamically, the Network Name resource will fail

clients can use the Kerberos authentication protocol when making an authenticated connection to this Exchange Virtual Server's Network Name resource Enabling Kerberos may require coordination with your domain administrator

9 If you are running Windows 2000, you can use command prompt

options to configure the DNS Registration Must Succeed and

Enable Kerberos Authentication options described in Step 7 For

information about configuring these options on servers running

Windows 2000, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 235529,

"Kerberos Support on Windows 2000-Based Server Clusters"

How to Create a Physical Disk Resource for an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server Cluster

This topic explains how to create a Physical Disk resource for an

Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server cluster

Procedure

To create a Physical Disk resource for an Exchange Virtual Server

in a Windows Server cluster

1 Right-click the Exchange Virtual Server, point to New, and then click Resource

2 The New Resource Wizard starts In the Name box, type Disk

<drive letter>, where drive letter is the logical drive on this disk You

should use a descriptive name, for example Disk G: Log Files

3 In the Resource type list, select Physical Disk Verify that the

Group box contains the name of your Exchange Virtual Server, and

then click Next

4 In Possible Owners, under Possible owners, verify that both

nodes are listed, and then click Next (Figure 7.4 earlier in this

chapter)

5 In Dependencies, under Resource dependencies, verify that no resources are listed, and then click Next

6 In Disk Parameters, in the Disk list, select the disk you want If the

disk does not appear in this list, either another group already has a resource for the disk, or the disk was not installed successfully

7 Click Finish The disk resource appears as a resource of the

Exchange Virtual Server

How to Create an Exchange System Attendant Resource for an

Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server Cluster

This topic explains how to create an Exchange System Attendant

resource for an Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server cluster

Before You Begin

Due to directory replication latency, all resources may not come online in your first attempt In this case, wait for replication to occur, and then bring the resources online again To add resources to the dependencies list when creating the Exchange System Attendant resource, first ensure that the resources you want to add are online

Procedure

To create an Exchange System Attendant resource for an

Exchange Virtual Server in a Windows Server cluster

1 Open Cluster Administrator

2 In the console tree, right-click the Exchange Virtual Server, and

then click Bring Online

3 Right-click the Exchange Virtual Server, point to New, and then click Resource

4 The New Resource Wizard starts In the Name box, type Exchange

System Attendant - (<EVSName>), where EVSName is the name of

your Exchange Virtual Server

5 In the Resource type list, select Microsoft Exchange System

Attendant Verify that the Group box contains the name of your

Exchange Virtual Server, and then click Next

6 In Possible Owners, under Possible owners, verify that all nodes that are running Exchange 2003 are listed, and then click Next

7 In Dependencies, under Available resources, select the Network

Name resource and all of the Physical Disk resources for this

Exchange Virtual Server, and then click Add Click Next

8 In Exchange Administrative Group, in the Name of

administrative group list, select the location in the Windows directory

where you want to create the Exchange Virtual Server, and then click

Next

Note:

This option is available only when you create the first Exchange

Virtual Server in a cluster All Exchange Virtual Servers must reside

in the same administrative group

9 In Exchange Routing Group, in the Name of routing group list,

select the routing group in which you want the Exchange Virtual Server

created, and then click Next

Note:

This option is available only when you create the first Exchange

Virtual Server in a cluster All Exchange Virtual Servers must reside

in the same routing group

10 In Data Directory, in the Enter path to the data directory box,

verify the data directory location You must verify that this location points to the shared physical disk resource assigned to this Exchange Virtual Server Exchange will use the drive you select in this step to store the transaction log files, the default public store files, and the mailbox store files (pub1.edb, pub1.stm, priv1.edb, and priv1.stm)

Click Next
