Exchange 2010 DC Failover
Hi Experts,
We are planning to do maintenance of our primary data center, and eventually, entire data center will remain unavailable for at least 10 hours, now, I need to fail-over all exchange services, and make it running from secondary data center. Could you please provide me the steps to do so. Please find the below for server roles.
Primary Site:
Server01: Mailbox, CAS, Hub
Server02: Mailbox, CAS, Hub
Server03 Mailbox (No mailbox exist, just role installed), Client Access
Server04 ET
Secondary Site:
Server07 Mailbox, CAS, Hub
Server08 ET
i. DAG Member servers are : Server01, Server02, Server07
ii. Outlook clients are connected via load balancer which is pointing to primary CAS array namely
P-CASArray.domain.com and we have another CAS array in secondary site S-CASArray.domain.com.
iii. Webmail is pointing to load balancer and which is also pointing to server01 and server02.
iv. Some applications are using IMAP/POP service from the server03
v. BES service is pointing to server03
Could you please advise how I can make available the following services and steps to do data center fail-over of exchange 2010.
1. Steps to do DAG fail-over to secondary site
2. Outlook connectivity for clients and availability
3. Outlook anywhere availability
4. Webmail availability-
5. Active Sync client connectivity
6. BES service availability( If possible)
