Network Name Error

Rick · Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 3

I'm creating a two node Exchange Cluster. I have 3 Cluster Groups
setup, 1 each for my 3 storage groups. I have 1 Data and 1 log disk in
each group. I setup the IP Address resource in group 1 and when I setup
the network name resource, I get an error: 87 when trying to enter the
name(same as the cluster group name) in "Network Name Parameters" .
What might be causing this error?

Thanks in advance

It might be that there are too many Exchange Virtual Servers for a two node
cluster. You can not have three Virtual Servers of Exchange on two nodes.
For three virtual servers, you need 4 nodes.

Russ,

This is my first cluster, so bear with me. Is a EVS actually just a
Cluster Group with resouces assigned to it? I installed Exchange 2003
on my two nodes but have not installed it on my cluster. I am going
through kb328839 on installing hotfixes and I'm not sure if I need to
install Exchange on my cluster first and then install the hotfixes on
the nodes or install the hotfixes on the nodes and then finish
installing Exchange on the cluster. I want to have three cluster
groups, one each for my Exchange storage groups, so when I expand the
cluster to four nodes, I can put a storage group on each node.

Sorry, I must have misread your previous post.

When it comes to clustering, you should look at installation as four layers:
1. Hardware
2. Operating system
3. Cluster service
4. Applications

With that in mind, all OS hotfixes should be installed before Exchange and
all Exchange hotfixes should be installed after Exchange is installed.
