Planning GroupWise in a Microsoft Cluster 393novdocx (en) 11 July 2008The example uses default port numbers where possible. For example, the default MTA messagetransfer port is 7100 and the default POA client/server port is 1677. Incrementing port numbers areused in the example when multiple components have the same type of ports. For example, portnumbers 1677 and 1678 are both POA client/server ports and port numbers 7180 through 7184 areall HTTP ports. Incrementing from the default port numbers generates unique, though related, portnumbers.If you are going to set up a GroupWise name server to help GroupWise clients locate their postoffices, make sure that the default POA port number of 1677 is used somewhere in the cluster andspecify the IP address of the post office resource group, not the IP address of a specific node. Formore information, see “Simplifying Client/Server Access with a GroupWise Name Server” in “PostOffice Agent” in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide.After you have filled out the Network Address Worksheet, transfer the IP addresses and the cluster-unique port numbers from the Network Address Worksheet to the Agent Clustering Worksheet sothat they will be available in the sequence in which you will need them as you set up the GroupWiseagents in the cluster.41.8.2 Deciding Where to Install the Agent SoftwareIn a Microsoft cluster, the agents must run as Windows services. When you install the WindowsMTA and POA, you can choose between two different installation locations:Table 41-2 Agent Software Installation LocationsNETWORK ADDRESS WORKSHEETFill out the “Network Address Worksheet” on page 398 to help you determine resource group IPaddresses and cluster-unique port numbers for all GroupWise agents in the cluster. (MTA, POA,Internet Agent, WebAccess Agent). Refer to the IP addresses you planned for the domain and postoffice resource groups under items 4 and 5 on the System Clustering Worksheet.AGENT CLUSTERING WORKSHEETUnder Item 4: MTA Network Information, transfer the resource group IP address and cluster-uniqueport numbers for the MTA from the Network Address Worksheet to the Agent Clustering Worksheet.Under Item 7: POA Network Information, transfer the resource group IP address and cluster-uniqueport numbers for the POA from the Network Address Worksheet to the Agent Clustering Worksheet.Location DescriptionEach node in theclusterThe c:\grpwise directory is the default location provided by the AgentInstallation program.Shared disk If you create a drive:\grpwise directory on the same shared disk with thedomain or post office directory, the agent software and startup files fail over andback with the domains and post offices that the agents service.
