Hi Folks,
Is it possible to migrate the current witness disk share for Exchange CCR 4 GB from the existing Application server cluster into the stand alone Hub Transport Server without causing downtime to the Exchange Server ?
My current setup is as follows:
Mailbox servers:
- PRODMBX1.domain.com – Mailbox Production Active Node 1
- IP: 10.1.7.5
- AD Site:HQ-CapitalCity-Site-1
- DRMBX1.domain.com – Mailbox Recovery Passive Node 1
- IP: 10.1.12.5
- AD Site:DR-RegionalCity-Site-1
Existing FileShare Witness disk:
- PRODAppServer1.domain.com – Production Application Server Active Node 1
- IP: 10.1.7.38
- AD Site:HQ-CapitalCity-Site-1
- X:\ drive 4 GB
- PRODAppServer2.domain.com – Production Application Server Passive Node 1
- IP: 10.1.7.39
- AD Site:HQ-CapitalCity-Site-1
into the following (IGMP Multicast) WNLB clusters:
Hub Transport – CAS Servers:
- PRODHT-CAS1.domain.com – HT-CAS Production Active Node 1
- IP: 10.1.7.14
- AD Site: HQ-CapitalCity-Site-1
- \\FileShare\NewDirectory1
- PRODHT-CAS2.domain.com – HT-CAS Production Active Node 2
- IP: 10.1.7.15
- AD Site: HQ-CapitalCity-Site-1
Do I have to select another cluster database or stand alone server as above is fine ?
I was wondering if the HT-CAS server is rebooted during the Windows Patching, it could potentially cause outage to the Exchange Mailbox CCR ?
