This topic explains how to use the Failover Cluster Management tool to create an empty resource group and then populate that group with disk resources to prepare for the installation of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) in a single copy cluster (SCC) running on Windows Server 2008.

Nota

The release to manufacturing (RTM) version of Exchange Server 2007 is not supported on Windows Server 2008.

Before You Begin

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

  • Membership in the local Administrators group on both nodes in the cluster
  • Full control permissions for the cluster

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

Procedure

To use the Failover Cluster Management tool to create an empty resource group and then populate the group with disk resources

  1. Open the Failover Cluster Management tool.

  2. Expand the cluster node.

  3. Right-click Services and Applications, select More Actions, and then select Create Empty Service or Application.

  4. A new, empty resource group called New service or application is created. If a group with this name already exists, the end of the group name will be appended with (2), (3), and so on.

  5. Right-click the newly created group, and then select Rename. The new name for the group should be the intended name for the clustered mailbox server. For example, if you are building a clustered mailbox server named EXSCC1, you should rename this group EXSCC1.

  6. Select the Storage node.

  7. In the result pane, under Available Storage, move the storage resources for the clustered mailbox server into the newly created and renamed cluster group. To do this, right-click each disk resource and select More Actions, select Move this resource to another service or application, and then select the newly created and renamed cluster group. Repeat this step for each disk resource you want to move.

  8. To optionally rename the disk resources with more meaningful names, perform the following steps:

    1. Right-click the disk resource and select Properties.
    2. On the General tab, in the Resource Name field, enter a meaningful name for the disk resource. For example, if the disk resource will be dedicated to a database called MBX1 in a storage group called SG1, you might consider naming the disk resource SG1MBX1DB.
    3. Click OK to save the name change.
    4. Repeat steps 8a–8c for each additional disk resource in the resource group that will be used for the clustered mailbox server.
