Deployment of Exchange Server 2007 SP1 CCR VMDK not RDM?

Hello world

Deployment of medium / large scale of 500 users about, can I deploy the server to Exchange Server 2007 as VMDK mailboxes not with physical RDM?

I intend to use continuous replication (CCR) cluster.

Thoughts and commentary please let me know.

Thank you.

Hey AlbertWT,

Others said go the route VMDK is fully supported and can offer you more flexibility in your environment.  That said, it all comes down to your needs, so it is difficult for us to say that you should do one thing or another.

Are you planning on using any SAN replication or snapshot with your Exchange databases technology?  Do you need to exceed the limit of 2 TB VMDK file size?  These and others are valid use cases for using physical RDM mode.

Personally, I think that VMDK is a good way to go, but you should consider all your requirements before making a decision.

  • Storage NFS for Exchange Server OS

    While I believe that Microsoft Support policy and recommendations for Exchange servers in hardware virtualization environments, document is very clear, I was faced with the following question:

    Microsoft does support the operating system Exchange server running on a NFS datastore?

    I believe that this issue is the result of the lack of understanding of the support strategy.  Here is the statement in question ("BOLD" emphasis is mine):

    The storage used by the Exchange Server guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or hub transport queues) can be virtual storage of a fixed size (for example, fixed virtual hard drives [VHD] in a Hyper-V environment), SCSI direct storage, or Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage. Pass through storage is storage that is configured at the host level and dedicated to one guest machine. All storage used by a computer invited exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage. Exchange 2010 is not compatible with network attached storage (NAS) volumes. NAS storage presented to the guest as block-level storage using the hypervisor is not supported. Transmission volumes must be presented as storage of block level for hardware virtualization software. This is because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network. The following virtual disk requirements apply to volumes that are used to store Exchange data.

    While I thought that the statement applied specifically to Exchange data, you can read this includes the OS data server as well (based on the second sentence in bold).  A customer was told by an engineer from MS that NAS storage was not at all based.  I disagree, because the recommended storage configuration is to separate the BONES of exchanging data anyway.

    Reference http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794548%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

    I'm all for pick up statements of support from MS and calling him on it, when the issue is raised in question and this one is no different.  I read the Data Exchange simply means that databases, newspapers, etc.  In fact they make it that some clearly in this statement:

    "The storage used by the Exchange guest machine for storage of data Exchange (for example, the basics of data from the mailbox or Hub transport queues)...". »

    There is no mention of the operating system being considered as Exchange data... which is not.  As for this one:

    "All storage used by a guest computer in Exchange for the storage of Exchange data must be block-level storage because Exchange 2010 does not support the use of storage (NAS) devices connected to the network."

    OK, this has been an attitude of long-standing support for MS, no biggie there since we have some that only qualified Data Exchange.  To the following:

    "In addition, NAS storage presented to the guest as block via the hypervisor level storage no is not supported."

    The key point here is that the NAS storage can be presented to a guest in two ways, one through the prompt (mounting storage NAS for Windows, that is, \\server\share) and another through the hypervisor (supported NFS VMDK).  In this statement, they are referring to the latter.  So, after all, this hike that my point is that it seems to me that the drive for your Exchange virtual computer operating system can absolutely be hosted on NAS-based storage and be supported.

    .. .then it's VMware spin on it, a little.  For Hub Transport, client access and stand-alone Mailbox servers, we have no problem with that.  We recommend, however, that if a clustering solution is deployed within the guest, i.e. DAG, you create the VMDK as eagerzeroedthick.  VMDK supported by NFS cannot be eagerzeroedthick, by our advice should not be hosted on NFS.  This little nugget of information is available here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1037959.  The reason behind this is when you use a disk virtual standard thickness blocks must be cancelled before the data is written, this (albeit low) latency is avoided by using the eagerzeroedthick option.  What we are proposing is avoid any additional latency that clusters tend to not like and zero all on.  BTW, we suggest this to any level of clustering, not just Exchange or MSCS comments.

  • Repeated loss of connection between Outlook and Exchange server

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 beta ultimate evaluation copy Build 7100.

    On that, I installed Office 2007, part of which is Outlook (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.64251000).

    I do the usual Windows updates and recently, I noticed that my Outlook has been updated as when I turn it off, I have a new Outlook "grey" with a red 'x' icon in this document, which disappears when the software is finally off.

    The problem is that now Outlook repeatedly loses the connection with the Exchange Server in my (work) and I have to close Outlook in order to reconnect and reactivate.

    It only happens when I'm at home - not at work (where I am actually on the internal network).

    It's very frustrating.

  • Exchange Server Migration 2000/2003, unity 4.0 (1) (4)

    We are running Exchange 2000 in an advertisement in 2000 with the 4.0 unit (1).

    Due to some problems with our current Exchange Server, we need to accelerate our migration to Exchange 2003.

    We will be upgrading the schema AD 2003 this week, and planned to upgrade Exchange this weekend. I know this will have a direct impact on the unit even after reading the documents to upgrade, I'm not 100% sure to get a grip on that everything must be done to make this a smooth transition.

    How the migration will work, we will build a new Exchange 2003 server in the same organization, and then move the mailboxes to that server. We then decomission existing exchange server and build another with his namesake and IP address as a Server 2003 and migrate all the mailboxes back, permanently.

    With this double-move in mind, does anyone have any advice, suggestions or traps to help us?

    Thanks in advance.

    Running Exchange 2003 ForestPrep causes a REFUSAL of ACE appear in each administrative group for the Exchange domain servers group on the 'Servers' container. Assuming that you are using the security model, the permissions wizard puts in place where the unit connects with a domain account that is not in the Exchange domain servers group, you should be fine. But I very well many customers choose to use a method of security home brew or put users in a bunch of unnecessary groups. So as have done you that ForestPrep does not grief of the unit.

    Unity 4.0 (3) and later supports Exchange 2003. So I would upgrade to 4.0 (4) of the unit before moving to Exchange 2003. Once you're at 4.0 (4) you just need to upgrade to Exchange 2003 Exchange System Manager and run the latest version of the permissions wizard if you plan to run Exchange 2003 with SP1. You can download that here:

    http://www.ciscounitytools.com/App_PW_403.htm

    When you bring the new tipping online server, you must re-run the Configuration Cisco Unity Message Store of add/remove programs and let the unit move the Unity_servername mailbox by choosing a new partner server. You can t just move the mailbox without the cause of the layout of the store Message what unit won t know where to find. Same thing for the what swing you on the new Exchange 2003 server.

  • WRVS4400N hosting Exchange Server

    I have a WRVS4400n. I have mail.mondomaine.fr that connects to my external IP address where my server is located. Whenever you goto which is the domain or ip address tries to connect to the router. I have remote mgmt disabled as well. Help?

    Thank you

    If you try to connect to mail.mondomaine.fr from inside the company, I'm not surprised, make you the router, but outside you should not get anything if nothing is passed and management is disabled. If this is true, something is wrong.

    Now, finally, I have checked that the WRVS does not support several addresses IP WAN, so for your mail server "mail.mondomaine.fr" must be your IP given to you by your ISP. However, once your exchange server is ready and you can access internally, you must transmit TCP 443 and 25 at least to your mail server. Nothing else to do for your typical exchange deployment.
