We tried VVM, and what a nightmare. I'd suspect you'd have better luck with something like partition magic, if its OK to take the cluster down for a short time.
During my trials with VVM - i found that Win2kSP3 with VVM keeps the processor at about 50% (as of last month anyway) stability...
Are you sure your resources within the clusters are "allowed" to be owned by either node? You must define this when setting up your resources.
MSCS does not detect network failures, and therefore will not "failover" to the other node in the event of a network failure. Too bad, so sad.
Box 1 and Box 2 will each have their own Node names and IP addresses. Your "cluster" will then have an *additional* node name, and ip address - which can move between the boxes.
The boxes do NOT have to be the same, but if you are dealing with a large population for your exchange...
The license logging service is far from anything "robust". After countless calls to microsoft's premier line, they have come up with the ultimate solution:
Stop the License Logging service, and set it to "manual".
mberwanger's suggestion - Timeserv from the resource kit is the best option. It uses SNTP - so as long as you don't care if the time is off by about .5 second - you should be fine. I use this to sync hundereds of machines. it works great.
try using Server Manager (look for open files) or "net session" to see what machines are connected.
(this assumes you're not looking for attacks to your box, which is an different issue)
Can you be more specific? With MSCS, only one node can access the shared disk at any one time. That means, Node1 holds the disk until you "fail over" the shared disk to Node2.
Based on my interpretation of your question, i don't think that these two options will work together...
