Clustering Exchange

[Daveyd123]

I currently have a single 2003 Exchange server.

I just purchased 2, Dell 1850s and also a PowerVault 220S direct attach storage. I am going to Cluster the 2 servers and have the PowerVault act as the shared storage.

I need to also migrate all Exchange data from the single server to the new cluster.

It will not be a front end/back end setup. The new cluster will be taking the place of the currect, single Exchange server.

Im looking for some info on how to cluster the 2 servers with Exchange 2003 and Server 2003 Enterprise and also migrate all Exchange data.

What are the steps involved?

From what I have read I would..

1. Install 2003 Enterprise on both servers.
2. Install MS-DTC
3. Install MS Clustering Services.
4. Install Exchange on Node1
5. Install Exchange on Node2


I know I'm missing a few steps. Can anoyone offer and assistance?
