Re: File Server Clustering Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I have following suggestions:

1, Please open a new post since you have a new issue.Please describe your
issue in detail.

2, I do understand you post in multiple newsgroup for widerly suggestions,
however, it may cause others confusion if you reply only in one newsgroup
later. Therefore, I'd like to suggest you post in only one Newsgroup.

3, For your issue, I think microsoft.public.windows.server.general should
be more approprate.

Thanks for understanding.

For File server :

Which is a better option - Active/active or active/passive.

Can anyone please let me know if there any issues with active/active as
opposed to active/passive for File server

Thank You

Hey everyone,

We are running a Windows 2003 domain and we have two old Windows 2000
file
servers. We are buying two new replacement servers (running Windows
2003
Enterprise.) for the old file servers. We would like to cluster them
into
an active/passive node cluster.

Can anyone point me to a step-by-step document for doing this?

We have all the hardware for a cluster and a SAN in place already
(EMC FC
SAN, HBA cards, FC Switches etc...). I just need a document to show
me
the steps for clustering a file server under Windows 2003 ent.

You can start here with How to create file shares on a cluster

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:
80/support/kb/articles/q224/9/67.asp&NoWebContent=1

Next, I would recommend this webcast, Creating Highly Available File and
Printer Shares with Windows Cluster Service
