To perform Exchange pre-installation

1. Verify the volume or LUN created to store the registry replication information for this Exchange virtual server is mounted or connected to this node and dismounted or disconnected from other nodes in the cluster.
2. From the node to be added to an Exchange cluster, navigate to C:\Program Files\Veritas\cluster server\bin\Exch2007Setup and run the Exch2007Setup.exe to launch the Exchange Server 2007 Setup Wizard.

   On Windows 2012 operating systems, use the Apps menu in the Start screen.

3. Review the information in the Welcome panel and click Next.
4. In the Available Option panel, click Install Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server role for High Availability and click Next.
5. In the Select Option panel, click Create a failover node for existing Exchange Virtual Server and click Next.
6. Select the Exchange virtual server for which you are adding the failover node and click Next.
7. Specify the network details for the Exchange virtual server.

   The wizard discovers the Exchange virtual server name and the domain suffix from the Exchange configuration. Verify this information and provide values for the remaining text boxes.

   Specify network information as follows:

   • Select the appropriate public NIC from the drop-down list.

     The wizard lists the public adapters and low-priority TCP/IP enabled private adapters on the system.

   • You should not have to change the virtual IP address that is automatically generated when setting up an additional failover node for the virtual server in the same cluster. By default, the text box displays the IP address assigned when the Exchange Virtual Server was created on the first node.

     If you want to change the address, do the following:

     • For IPv4 networks, select IPv4 and then enter a unique IP address and its associated subnet mask. Ensure that the IP address is currently not being used on your network, but is in the same subnet as the current node.

     • For IPv6 networks, select IPv6 and then select the IPv6 network from the drop-down list. The wizard uses the network prefix and automatically generates a unique IPv6 address that is valid on the network.

   • Click Next.

8. Review the summary of your selections and click Next.
9. Click Yes on the message dialog that informs you that the system will be renamed and restarted after you quit the wizard.
10. The wizard starts running commands to set up the VCS environment. Various messages indicate the status of each task. After all the commands are executed, click Next.
11. Click Reboot.

    The wizard prompts you to reboot the node. Click Yes.

    After you reboot the node, the value specified for the Exchange virtual server is temporarily assigned to the node. So, all network connections to the node must be made using the temporary name. After installing Microsoft Exchange, you must rerun this wizard to assign the original name to the node.

    On rebooting the node, the Exchange Server Setup Wizard for VCS is launched automatically with a message that Pre-Installation is complete. Review the information in the wizard dialog box and proceed to installing Microsoft Exchange Server.

    Do not click Continue at this time. Wait until after the Exchange installation is complete.

    Click Revert Changes if you wish to undo all actions performed by the wizard during the pre-installation procedure.
