Performing Exchange post-installation: additional nodes

After completing the Microsoft Exchange installation, use the Exchange Setup Wizard to complete the post-installation tasks. This process reverts the node name to original name.

Note the following before you proceed:

To perform Exchange post-installation

  1. Make sure that the Veritas High Availability Engine (HAD) is running on the node on which you plan to perform the post-installation tasks.

    Type the following on the command line:

    C:\>hasys -state

    The state should display as RUNNING.

    If HAD is not running, start it. Type the following on the command line:

    C:\>net stop had
    C:\>net start had
  2. Make sure that the volumes or LUNs containing the registry replication information and the Exchange database are mounted or connected to the node on which you will perform the post-installation.
  3. If the Exchange installation did not prompt you to reboot the node, click Continue from the Exchange Setup Wizard and proceed to step 5.

    If you rebooted the node after Microsoft Exchange installation, the Exchange Setup Wizard for VCS is launched automatically.

  4. Review the information in the Welcome panel and click Next.
  5. Click Yes on the message dialog that informs you that the system will be renamed and restarted after you quit the wizard.

    The wizard starts performing the post-installation tasks.

  6. After all commands are executed, click Next.
  7. Specify whether you want to add the node to the SystemList of the service group for the EVS selected in the Exchange pre-installation step.

    Select this option only if service groups are already configured for the EVS.

    If you wish to add the nodes later, you can do so by using the Exchange service group Configuration Wizard.

  8. Click Finish.
  9. The wizard prompts you to reboot the node. Click Yes.

    Changes made during the post-installation steps do not take effect till you reboot the node.
