~Sven Zentumister 13.Jan.04 04:08 PM a Web browser Domino Server 6.0.3 Windows 2000
The company I recently joined has two servers, Notes01 and Notes02, handling users mail files. These servers are almost full to capacity and have the users split between them, 866 on one, 1,014 on the other.
Today, due to a corrupt mail.box or rogue email, Notes02 kept crashing meaning that 1,014 users were without mail every time it happened. After softing the problem, I asked why there's no failover here and was told "Don't know. Why don't you sort it out?"
So, I'm going to order larger hard disks for the servers and install them. Now this is how I think I do it:
1) Put new drives in Notes01 and install W2K & Domino. Call Server Domino01.
2) Go to Notes02 and issue a move command on all users
3) Put drives from Notes01 into Notes02, start it up and issue a move on all users to Domino01
4) Put new drives in what is now notes01, install W2K/Domino, call server Domino02 and create cluster.
That seems the "best" way to do it, but is it the "correct" way? Also, will we have to go round every user and re-point their mail files to Domino01? Although the Move will change the entry in the NAB, it won't update the PAB.
