I am trying to install Domino server on windows 2008 cluster(Active/Passive). Here are steps I am following (Similar to steps as that of R5 on winodws 2000):
Setup MSCS server on windows 2008 cluster.
Install domino server with data directory on the shared drive.
Configure the domino server.
Modify the notes.ini and add the following line:
TCPIP_TCPIPAddress=0,,0
Copy the notes.ini to the data directory on the shared drive.
Failover the shared disk to the second node and install domino server with data directory pointed to the shared drive.
Create windows service and applications and select generic service.
Select lotous domino service, specify the IPAddress and select the shared disk.
After completing the steps when I am trying to start domino server, it is failing to start. Event logs has the following error:
The Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominoData) service terminated with service-specific error 421
I appreciate if someone to throw some light on setting up domino server on windows 2008 cluster.
Subject: Clustering Domino 8.5 on windows 2008 cluster environment
Joe,
Thanx for the information. But the cluster setup which you have pointed out is Application level clustering. We are setting up it with Microsoft’s MSCS clustering.
Here is our requirment:
We setup a 2-node winodws 2008 cluster.
Then we need to add lotus domino as a cluster aware service.
so that if one node fails/crashes then the winodws clustering will switch the service to another node using microsoft’s MSCS.
For my setup on windows 2003 server I followed the steps in chapter 6 of the redbook :
I’m seeing the same error on a Domino clustered 8.5.1 64bit server on Windows 2008 Ent SP2.
The server starts once, then it won’t shut down. After that it won’t start again and get the error as described in the original post. Did anyone get a fix for this?
