i am having troubles getting the system attendant resource created on a two node cluster workign within VMware. This purely for testing. I have got a DC working in a isolated network on vmware and have built two servers to act as my two node cluster. Do i need to match everything regarding physical disks? including mount points? on the vmware machine? does it matter what the node name is? cluster name? if i wanted to restore exchange data to this cluster would the virtual server name have to be identical to the production cluster? whne i try to create the SA resource it moans about either the path/data/admin group/routing group not matching the info it reads from the virtual server name it reads from AD. also our prod cluster is a 3A1P 4 node cluster but i wanted to see if i could at least get one virtual server restored before building a 4 node cluster within vmware. any help woul dbe great Paresh Any help would be appreciated?

The disks need to be mapped identically between the two, yes. >does it matter what the node name is? cluster name? The node names cannot be the same as the EVS names, no. >if i wanted to restore exchange data to this cluster would the virtual >server name have to be identical to the production cluster? Sensibly you would, yes. That way you can do a restore of test data from production without too much mucking about. >whne i try to create the SA resource it moans about either the >path/data/admin group/routing group not matching the info it reads from the >virtual server name it reads from AD. > >also our prod cluster is a 3A1P 4 node cluster but i wanted to see if i >could at least get one virtual server restored before building a 4 node >cluster within vmware. > >any help woul dbe great > >Paresh > >Any help would be appreciated? Do this one at a time. There are quite a few articles on vmware and searchexchange if you care to Google for them. I have pulled a few down myself.
