Shutting down an A/A/P Windows 2003 / Exchange 2007   
We are having a power outage this weekend, I need to shutdown the entire 
cluster.

We have an Active/active/passive Windows 2003 SP2 / Exchange 2007 cluster.

Do I do the following:
1st shutdown passive node

2nd - shutdown active node - At this point will the resources fail?  Do I 
need to do both active nodes at the same time?


With our Active/active cluster, we always transferred all resource to one 
node and then shutdown that node.   Can you do that with an A/A/P cluster or 
will Exchange 2007 not allow two resources on one node?

Re: Shutting down an A/A/P Windows 2003 / Exchange 2007   
If you need to shut down the entire cluster, you:

1. Stop the clustered mailbox servers on both active nodes.
2. Shut down the passive node.
3. Shut down one of the active nodes.
4. Shut down the other active node.

To start up the entire cluster, you:

1. Boot up the node you shut down in step 4 above.
2. Boot up the node you shut down in step 3 above.
3. If necessary, move one of the clustered mailbox servers from the node you 
shut down in step 4 above to the node you shut down in step 3 above.
4. Boot up the passive node.
5. Start the clustered mailbox servers.

Hope this helps.

Scott,

Thanks.

Step #1 - I am assuming you mean go into cluster admin and take the cluster 
resources offline.

Re: Shutting down an A/A/P Windows 2003 / Exchange 2007   
Which is a better method or it does not matter?

I will probably use the script to do this, how can I tell if the script 
worked?

You will see the cluster is offline in Cluster Administrator
