QUESTION POSED ON: 21 November 2005
We are planning on consolidating numerous dispersed Exchange 2003 servers into three CONUS locations, and implementing clustering with databases on a SAN in order to have high mailbox availability. We also intend to utilize multiple storage groups with multiple information stores.
We would like to use a virtual server (VMware) as the passive node in the cluster (still keep the active node as a physical server). Have you heard of other firms doing this on any sizeable scale? Microsoft only recently backed off on its stand of non-support for Microsoft Exchange on a virtual server. Any advice you have on possible pitfalls is appreciated.
