Cluster of P2V existing Windows 2003 two nodes exchange 2007

Hello

I want to know how I can create a cluster of the P2v of my production windows node cluster on a host two unique esx4i. It is only for purposes of laboratory and test. The reason why I've done a P2v is I want to imitate my production environment, and as production data.

I've done a p2v of my node Exchange 2007 cluster two production Windows 2003 64-bit.  How can I reconfigure disks (quorum, data) for the cluster?

I've seen a lot of e of documents telling me to remove the discs and re create, but I want to keep the data.

I would like to know if someone has done with success the P2v cluster.

Please notify.

I understand you want to keep the data - this guide will give you necessary for nodes in vm configurations and storage relavent - if you want to keep the two nodes in the cluster on separate from ESX boxes, then you will need to maintain a quorum and the shared data on the physical SAN LUNS and allows to connect to storage RDM - if they all exist on the same ESX Server I shute evrything down - P@V primary node with the disk data and shared quorum, then P2V system disk of secondary nodes - in both cases follow the configurations described in the guides and you should be good to go-

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points marking the answer correct or useful

    FVO-Export is an option. However, since you have an another data store with the free space on the disk, you can also simply copy the existing virtual machine to this data store.

    What I'd probably do:

    • stop the VM (s) located on the data store
    • remove existing snapshots
    • remove the VM (s) of the inventory (right-click the virtual machine-> "Remove from inventory")
    • copy the files of the virtual machine to the another data store (using the browser data store)
    • Rename the original files (to make sure there is no more reference)
    • Add the VM (s) to the inventory (right-click the file vmx in the news/copied folder in the browser data store)
    • Power on the VM (s) to make sure that everything is ok
    • delete the 'old' records

    There may be other options too, however the steps above should ensure that the copy process is properly and it is save to remove the now empty data store.

  • Windows Server 2012 - create the existing Windows Server 2003 domain controller.

    Hello.

    I am currently working on adding a domain controller Windows Server 2012 and field existing Windows 2003.  My current domain controller (Server 2003) had a level of functiontional of Windows 2000 server, when I first tried to add the server DC 2012.  I changed the functional level of the domain on the Server 2003 Windows 2003 (it is the only domain controller in the tree).  When I try to add the Server Server 2012, he reports that this domain is a Windows 2000 domain.  I checked and restarted the 2003 server.  Does anyone know why the 2012 still sees the field as 2000 functional level?

  • Windows 7 MMC Exchange 2007 up-to-date

    I'm curious to know if it is possible to create a MMC on Windows 7 which is Exchange 2007 aware. Our DC running server 2008, and I have the administrative tools installed on this server. I also have the exchange management tools installed, but they do not appear in the users and Computers snap-in software component when you select a user account. Currently I use xpmode and performance of users and computers, which is Exchange-aware. On my windows 7 MMC, I have the users and computers and Exchange as different snap ins. So when I create a user, I have to go to the exchange manager and add their email once I created their account. I can't find any real documentation on this issue, so any input is greatly appreciated.

    The scenario is that I have 2 DC and DR site and 1 storage connected with 1 node on both sites. The thing I have to do is cluster between two nodes if 1 went nodes then another are toggled but can failover storage level could be done by assigning 1 GB Lun as Quorum in both storage in both sites.

  • Replication Failover clustering & Hyper-v on a two-node cluster

    Hello

    We have two identical servers.  One to use as a main server, which houses two virtual machines.  The other should be used as a back up in case the main server is not somehow.  We planned on using a solution of third-party software to back up our virtual machines and launch them in the event of failure of the principal server.  However, we discovered just gave the failover clustering in Windows Server R2 2012.

    We have tried to set up a cluster 2 nodes, with our virtual machines properly replicated to the backup server.  Excited by the present, we tried then to simulate failure of the primary server (by pulling on the cable network).  We were a little disappointed to find that the backup server is not automatically run virtual machines.  We did a survey and read than a solution of two nodes requires storage space for additional network (in addition to our two servers).

    I wonder if that's okay?  In other words, a two-node failover cluster requires separate network storage space.  If this is not correct, can someone point me to a set of instructions to correctly configure a two-node failover cluster that will automatically launch the virtual machines on the server backup (in the case of a failure of the principal server).

    Thank you

  • P2v Windows 2003 Server

    I have a Windows 2003 Server physical that we would like P2v, but drive C has only about 100 MB remaining.  Drive D has 25 GB.    My preference is to install Converster on this server and run locally, but as the C drive is low on space, it may be better to do it remotely.   However, I was wondering if there is a way to always run locally if I install the converter on the D drive.  Is this possible?

    With only 100 MB on the left, I highly recommend you free disk space before you do anything else to avoid problems (not only related to the converter). What I did in the past in such situations, is to configure the location of the page file to the server, which will release usually a few GB (depending on its current size).
