This topic explains how to configure physical disk resources for a clustered mailbox server (CMS) in a single copy cluster (SCC). This procedure is performed after the failover cluster has been formed, and before Exchange has been installed on any nodes. For detailed steps to add one or more physical disk resources to an existing CMS in an SCC, see Cómo agregar un recurso de disco físico a un servidor de buzón en clústeres.

In an SCC, CMS database and log file paths must be on one or more physical disk resources that are configured as shared storage in the cluster.

Importante

Physical disk resources are configured differently in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 than in Exchange Server 2003.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Membership in the local Administrators group on that computer.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Consideraciones sobre permisos.

Procedure

To create a group with one or more physical disk resources for a new clustered mailbox server

  1. Open Cluster Administrator.

  2. Expand the cluster name.

  3. Expand the Groups folder. In a newly formed Windows Server 2003 failover cluster, there should be at least two groups that are present. One group is the default cluster group, and the other group(s) should contain the physical disk resources that were detected during cluster formation. The additional group(s) will have a name of Group X, where X is the group number. There will be one group for each physical disk resource detected during cluster formation (for example, Group 0, Group 1, etc.).

  4. Right-click Group 0 and select Rename.

  5. Rename Group 0 to any name other than the name you intend to use for the CMS. For example, if your CMS will be called SCC1, then you might rename Group 0 to SCC1TEMP. If any groups in the cluster you use the name of the CMS, Setup will fail.

  6. For each additional group that contains physical disk resources (e.g., Group 1, Group 2, etc.), move the disk resource from the additional groups into the group that contains the disk resources (e.g., SCC1TEMP). To do this:

    1. Select the group containing the physical disk resource to be moved.
    2. Right-click the physical disk resource in each group that is still named Group X, select Change Group and then select the group that will contain all physical disk resources (e.g., SCC1TEMP).
    3. When the first confirmation message appears, click Yes.
    4. When the second confirmation message appears, click Yes to move the physical disk resource into the clustered mailbox server group.
    5. Repeat steps 6a-6d for each additional group that contains a physical disk resource until all disk resources are in one group.
    6. After all physical disk resources have been moved to a single group, delete all of the empty groups (e.g., Group 1, Group 2, etc.).

  7. Clear the 'Affect the group' setting for each physical disk resource in this group. To do this:

    1. Right-click the physical disk resource and select Properties.
    2. Select the Advanced tab.
    3. Clear the Affect the group checkbox.
    4. Click OK.
    5. Repeat steps 8a-8d for each physical disk resource in the group.
