Exchange 2010 RPC HA

Question,

 

 

Were implementing Exchange 2010 through our LTM hardware. I want to ensure that i have stateful failover if I do a patch, hotfix, or just a reboot/refresh. I know with OWA, and HTTPS the cookie will be stateful. However in regards to RPC being source address persistence, should I need to mirror that persistence to the stanby unit to unsure stateful failover with RPC...

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Jayson

    Just wondering if anyone has experience working with Exchange 2010 and RPC. Its using a wide range of ports so we use a all ports VIP *0. I'm wondering to create more of a seamless failover, if it would be best to mirror source address persistence to the standby unit. I'm going to have 8,000 mailboxes going through my 6900 LTM hardware... I have a seperate 1 GB fiber synch interface between the 2 units.

    Hello Jayson,

     

     

    I'm not massively experienced with Exchange I am afraid but rfom the description I would say that yes, mirroring the persistence records to the standby device will be necessary.
