Exchange 2007 SP2 Single Node Cluster (SP3 upgrade failed)
When trying to upgrade a single node Exchange 2007 cluster, I'm erroring out at 63% of configuring the Mailbox Server role with this error:
An error occurred. The error code was 3221684294. The message was The remote server has been paused or is in the process of being started.
I performed the stop-clusteredmailboxserve
I'm not finding much info on how to resolve it but the mailbox databases are down right now. I'm still looking but am in the middle of a downtime window, so if anyone can point me in the right direction quickly, that would be of great help.
OS: Windows 2008 SP2 (on VMware, not sure which version)

I'd been looking at the registry related items in posts mentioned in your link and will probably try those soon. I've been apprehensive to reboot the server. I did some DNS checking and restarting of DNS client/server and now when I try the setup, it fails to even get information. Due to my waning window I opened a Microsoft case (figuring it'll take them 2 hours to call me back anyway, so if I haven't figured it out by then I'll welcome the call).

Chimney offloading was already disabled on global (I disabled it on the main interface, but not the iSCSI one). I also disabled RSS. NetDMA is a registry change though, so I'm holding off on it for now since I think it will require a reboot.
At this point though, I need to get through the new error before I can find out if these changes help.

The errors in those last two links seem to point to a different issue. My current one seems to be cluster related (and the setup being unable to pull configuration information from it).
ASKER
A reboot got passed the new error but the old is still there (NetDMA is disabled now too). The MS person is on the line now and recommending we do the /UpgradeCMS first. The cluster is being forced to start but it's taking an abnormally long time to start.
I'll update if there is more progress.

When all is done I'll give a every step I performed. Right now I've gotten the mailbox server upgraded but the setup.com /UpgradeCMS is failing (any thoughts?):

Microsoft has been quiet for a long while... not feeling a great deal of confidence. My searches are only bringing up references to *creating* clusters, or adding nodes. I haven't found any where the issue occurred during an /upgradeCMS. I might be asking for an escalation soon.
Thank you for your efforts though. Maybe MS will come up with something soon.

Result ended up being a lost cause where a more extreme method was used to accomplish the end goal, so it wasn't *solved* per se. The only progress that did come through, the exact reason it went through is unclear (likely the cluster group remaining online).
I appreciate MaheshPM's efforts. The post I marked, that leads to the Chimney, RSS, etc. references, likely contributed positively to the progress I did make before giving up.
