Ah correct. Cluster must be in place first to establish and install your
virtual server name into your Ex org.

Remember, you cannot convert your existing non-clustered Exchange severs
to cluster without a complete reinstallation of exchange on that node. I
would suggest, getting your cluster up with the second node that I
assume is available to you. Bring up the cluster as a single node
cluster, and create the Exchange resources. Then move the mailboxes and
Public folders to the new cluster resource. Then, uninstall the
non-cluster Exchange node and add as a second node. Are you planning on
active/active or active/passive?

Yes this is possible. Is your Ex 2003 server already attached to a
shared SAN? If not you will need to go through all the process of
installing your HBA cards\drivers, MPIO software, create your
volumes\raid using your vendors Array utility, configure your basic
cluster config, then add your resources ie. Shared disks, Exchange
resources then you would move your mailbox from local volume to your
shared volume. Something to this affect.

Subject: [ExchangeList] Migrating to Exchange 2003 Clustering

 

Dear Sir, 

I have a customer want to migrate email server from Exchange 2000 to
Exchange 2003 on clustering Windows 2003, but IT guys there installed
Exchange 2003 on one of new Windows 2003 Server and moves all mailboxes
and public folders from old server to the new one before implementing
clustering. So is there any way to implement clustering without
uninstall Exchange 2003 server on the new server or moving back all
mailboxes and public folders (more than 75 GB). Could you please help me


 

Best Regards,
