Once again - Exch Svr Clustering in vmware - pls help
Once again - cluster setup in vmware
I am practising the Cluster setup for MS- Exchange 284 (ms-press book)
Chapter 6 Installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Clusters and Front-End and Back-End Servers
Lesson 1 - Practise Installing exch svr 2003 in a clustered environment
Exercise 1 and 2 under lesson 1 work fine with this config
**shared virtual scsi disk and shared on Bus1 between both the vms
diskLib.dataCaheMaxSize = “0”
disk.locking = "false"
scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual"
But when i go to lesson2-Managing an Exchange Server 2003 Cluster under CHAPTER6
Exercise 1: Create an Exchange Server 2003 Virtual Server - setup goes thru ok
Exercise 2: Create an IP Address Resource - setup goes thru ok
Exercise 3: Create a Network Name Resource - setup goes thru ok
Exercise 4: Add a Disk Resource to the Exchange Server 2003 Virtual Server- fails
so on exercise 4 it fails to detect the quorum disk that was previously shared scsi1
in the drop down box it shows no drives listed where i have to pick the drive.
so as i understand and was told by the Astorrs here was the previously shared disk is already in use
so cant reuse it again for another cluster resource- fine
my question here is if i add another shared disk say on scsi bus 1.1
do i still have to add another line to the vmx config file such as
scsi1.1.sharedbus = "virtual"
or does the above line scsi1.sharedbus = "virtual" shares the whole bus from 1.0 to 1.15
please help me out guys...
Thank you all
