How to plan for Exchange 2007 Virtualization LUNS

I have a question regarding the planning of the LUN, if I need to virtulizar Exchange MBX, HUB/CASE and edge server roles. Make a single LUN and assign it to any ESX host and create a seprate VMDK for each server or make a LUN seprate for each role and re-branded to the esx host.

I short, I need to learn more about the planning of the Raid and the LUNS in the storage

Concerning

DS-

Architecting your storage space for virtualized applications isn't very different architecting your storage space for physical applications - apply the same basic rules.  You need to worry about I/o to disk per second (IOPS), broadband bandwidth disc to your LUNs and RAID levels the same way.  Below you will find some technical documents that might help you to determine what is best for your environment.  Use them as guidelines - some are for different versions of ESX, but the principles will continue to apply.

  • How to plan for everymonth

    Hi all

    I'm using ODI 11 g.

    I want to plan some of my work for everymonth between 18 and 30.

    How to this plan by ODI.

    I made this Plan planning such as load

    I put run as every month (day of month) 18

    And in the execution of spend a Maximum of repetation number 12 and interval repetation within 24 hours. But it's not working.

    Thank you

    Hi Lony

    From your description, it is what has been happening now:

    In the Appendix:

    Confirm that it is same as in your repository.

    FYI, monthly performance means once a month and the day means the day, it will be executed. He didn't is not "OF DATE", as you mentioned.

    This can be validated by looking at the calendar of Agents. I chose the calendar from 3rd September 2014 to February 28, 2015.

    As you can see, there are 1 active calendar for each month for the scenario, the 18th of each month.

    Now, that's what you should do:

    I chose the calendar as daily and have selected that the flow should not be run on 1-17 of each month.

    I have reset things on the run Cycle tab

    and when we check the Agent schedule of February 28, 2015, 3rd September 2014, that's what I see

  • ESXi 5.1 - Exchange 2007 - file Page memory and CPU allocation

    I'm currently migrating a class Cluster CSC Exchange 2007 running on vmware on windows 2008, 2003.  It is also a SCC Cluster.  I followed all of the vmware and MS best practices, but not sure of one thing IM is the size of memory and CPU allocation page/swap file.  I have 5 Esxi hosts and each is running only Exchange 2007 comments according to vmware and MS recommendations when you use the Clustering of CSC.

    Each host has 2 CPUs to 6 cores per processor and 48 gb of Ram and that each host will have only a guest, would like to send it to the guest.  I read somewhere that it is recommended this page exchange 2007 memory size + 10 mb file.  Do I really need to get the page to the size of the file?  250 GB of disk space is a lot for swap files! IM also not sure what to set the allocation processor too.  If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Hi dlargeit,

    First of all, off - welcome to the VMTN forums!

    I'm with Josh26 I've ever seen any recommendations indicating that when a CCS cluster virtualization virtual machine by host is taken in charge. It is recommended to keep only a single node SCC by host (which is true for all virtual clusters or technologies like Exchange CSC/CCR/DAG), but there is nothing specific regarding the keep only a single virtual machine by host.

    On the file page, you are actually right on that.  For Exchange 2007, the paging file must be on the amount of memory configured as well as 10 MB to account for overhead costs of the kernel.  It is recommended by Microsoft and it is planned to provide enough space page Exchange should exchange more provide the necessary overhead if meet you a server failure and need to create a complete memory dump.

    You can find this recommendation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/aa996719 (EXCHG.80) .aspx

    In terms of CPU allocation, which should really be made according to your individual needs rather than just give all the resources the VM on the ESXi host.  Microsoft lists the maximum recommended for processor resources (Planning Processor Configurations: Exchange 2007 help) and it says that 12 hearts is the maximum for mailbox or Hub Transport box.  Is your really big enough environment need a lot of CPU resources?  Why not start small and increase it if necessary?

    You are in control of your own destiny in some of these configurations.  If you know the recommended page file size is 10 MB of RAM +, do not give the server more RAM is really needed, or you will have to pay for it in the consumed disk space to host the pagefile.  See the guide to memory resources (Planning Memory Configurations: Exchange 2007 help) to understand the maximum rates of memory for Exchange.  You will see that the maximum memory is 32GB, so there are very few reasons to assign all 48GB of RAM on your server, if it can even use.

    In short, the size of the server based on the real needs and I am confident, that you will have a virtualized Exchange system that performs as well as physical.

  • NFS and Exchange 2007 VMDK datastore

    If I have a big NFS Datastore (E.g. 1 TB) does make sense to create different VMDK for log files and database for Exchange 2007? The entire data store will run on 10 discs. The performance increase if I separate the VMDK?

    The design of your storage groups is less a review of virtualization and more of your Exchange environment.  How many storage groups, storage group users, etc., may differ according to the specific needs of your organization.  If you need storage for four groups, I put all four on a single VMDK to make things simpler.  Also, I'd create a separate VMDK file for the newspaper that another Envoy said.

    If you need to create separate records for each of them, then you'd have 4 storage groups VMDK and 4 more newspapers.  The complexity of managing that alone would make it worth it.  And even once since he was on the same piece of storage shared with the same number of underlying PIN as your performance will be substantially the same.

  • ESX 3i for Exchange 2003

    Hello people,

    Can I use ESX 3i to consolidate the two Exchange server 2003 for redundancy? 1 box of 2 virtual Exchange. We have about 500 users.

    Thank you.

    Before you Virtualize your Exchange boxes, I would consider using Exchange 2007 because that provides more users and performance through larger cache sizes.  There is a best practice to do this, use vmware for exchange 2007 pleas google online that he will quickly reveal.

    If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

  • Is there a problem using CFPOP in CF MX 7 with Exchange 2007?

    We have a scheduled task that checks the mailbox and, according to the request, replies to the sender with our basic contact information. It worked fine for several years using the CF MX 7 Standard and MS Exchange 2000. We have just changed to MS Exchange 2007 and we get an error as follows: ' connection failure: unknown username or bad password. " We can access the mailbox directly from Exchange by using the account and the password, so we think we send the correct information (example below).

    < CFPOP ACTION = "GetHeaderOnly" SERVER = "192.168.1.15" USERNAME = "testaccount" PASSWORD = "testpassword" NAME = "getMail" >

    Is there something we're missing? We believe that the IP address, the account and the password is always accurate. We have assigned to this mail server in the Mail tab in the CF Administrator and he can see and route CFMAILs by it.

    Any help is appreciated.

    We discovered that Exchange 2007 has five specific steps that need to occur in a particular order for CFPOP resume working properly. We did it (despite several security issues) because this function is strictly internal. Not recommended for an application available for the general public.

    Procedure for Exchange 2007 works for CFPOP:
    (1) start the service of POP on the Exchange 2007 server.
    (2) allow the e-mail accounts to use POP3.
    (3) lower the requirements of security on these accounts to allow CF to send clear text instead of encrypted (SSL) requests for POP3.
    (4) set the Exchange Server to accept the relay.
    (5) lower the safety requirements for the relay.

    I hope I explained this correctly. That's how my network supervisor explained to me there.

  • Exchange 2007: HA solution for the mailbox role

    Hello!

    I'm a new infrastructure of Exchange 2007 on VMWare vSphere 4.1 design... My question is about HA for servers with the role of box mailbox.

    I need to no (or little) downtime, so HA vSphere isn't enough... in design documents, I found two solutions:

    -two VM clustered Windows 2008 (part of witness) + CSC Exchange (CCR)

    -a single VM with vSphere active FT

    Which is the best solution in your opinion / experience? I would use FT but I'm worried by the limit of 1vCPU.

    Thank you!

    The amount of required CPU will be directly linked the number of mailboxes, that you intend to host the mailbox profile.  A single vCPU should be plenty for up to the mailbox of 750-1000 of a medium profile (100 messages sent/rec'd by day).  The MS Exchange team has a calculator that you can use to determine the exact cpu and memory required for your configuration (http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/07/05/445802.aspx).

    EMC has conducted trials of a unique virtual machine running 1000 mailboxes and protected by FT (http://www.emc.com/collateral/hardware/technical-documentation/h6237-virtual-infrastructure-clariion-cx4-120-vsphere-reference-architecture.pdf).

    Which solution is right for you will depend on what you are trying to protect and how much you want to spend on the solution.  FT will be work very well protect against hardware failures, not need business licenses and have no service interruptions but as failover, is limited to a single vCPU.  Exchange 2007 CCR will protect against hardware and software failures (awareness of the Exchange), but you will have to maintain two virtual machines / systemes systems operating, requires twice the storage and requires licensing of the company.

    I installed Palm Pre to access my Exchange account.  I put the sync option to manual, but I'm still having pushed email to me.  I'd rather be able to check email when I want no less for battery problems.

    Resolved there is a framework to Exchange that had to be changed.  IE, disable "Up-to-date Notifications" in the title of mobile services.
