4 Fail over the active node to the passive node.
5 Allow a piece of mail to pass through the server and wait about 90
seconds for the event sync to initialize.
6 Verify the RedirectorSink is connected by logging into the web-based
Administration console and in the Readiness check section, under
Redirector Sinks, click the Details link.
7 Repeat these steps for each additional node in the cluster.
NOTE RedirectorSinks and SMTP Virtual Servers
The RedirectorSink is designed to bind to only a single SMTP virtual server
instance. On a standalone Exchange server, multiple SMTP virtual server
instances must be consolidated into a single virtual server instance before
installing the RedirectorSink. Multiple SMTP virtual server instances are only
supported on Active/Passive or N+1 clusters where the number of virtual
servers corresponds to the Exchange nodes present in the cluster. Additional
Exchange nodes installed after the RedirectorSink require that you manually
register the event sink. Contact Support for assistance.
Installing the RedirectorAgent
To use the partial activation feature of Email Continuity in Exchange 2007
environments, you must install a custom transport agent (the RedirectorAgent) on
all Hub Transport servers. The RedirectorAgent is not supported on Edge servers.
This agent performs functions similar to the RedirectorSinks used in Exchange
2000/2003 environments. The agent is provided by Support in a ZIP file
(RedirectorAgent.zip) in the service software directory. Unzip the file on the Hub
Transport server (to C:\RedirectorAgent) and install the agent using Exchange
Management Shell. To run the script, you must provide the NetBIOS name and
Fully Qualified Domain name of the machine running the RedirectorController.
CAUTION Exchange Transport Service Restart Required
As part of the installation process, the Microsoft Exchange Transport service
stops and restarts automatically. Make sure that you install the agent at a time
when a stop in this service is not disruptive to your organization.
CAUTION Installation Required on all Hub Transport Servers
To ensure reliable mail delivery during an activation of Email Continuity, the
agent must be installed on all Hub Transport servers. Remember to install the
agent each time you configure a new Hub Transport server, or modify a server
to perform the Hub Transport role.
