Considerations for Using Clusters

In active/passive clusters, Exchange Virtual Servers must equal one less than the number of nodes

Exchange 2003 is limited to four storage groups per server, which can create problems with the active/active configuration

For both cluster types, proactively monitor virtual memory performance

The surviving node takes over the failed EVS and

continues to service client computers

EVS is failed back

Active/passive configurationActive/passive configuration

One or more nodes of the Exchange server cluster host active EVSs while

one or more nodes remain passive.

The cluster service checks the preference list and

moves the failed EVS to the passive node on the list. The passive node starts

servicing client computers

When the node is restored to service, the EVS is failed
