In my setup i have 3 scc cluster 2 active & 1 passive with Two HUB/CAS in NLB this is my primary Site & in DR site i have single stand alone Server with HUB/CAS/Mailbox role. i have enable storage group copy for one DB only and then run all required commands & then down my db @ source server or primary site then up the db in DR site.

now my question is if my primary site will up then how do i move my DB from DR to prodution or primary site what would be process step by step if i try to run Enable storage copy @ Primary site server its giving eror enable storage group copy cannot be configured on node because it is a not a member of cluster, please help me out to troubleshoot the issue.

My answer would depend on the configuration you deploy, however if you want the remote target to be a stand alone server there is no dependency on clustering and you should be able to use standard edition

Quick question: Would like to enable SCR but OS version is Windows 2008 Standard/Exchange 2007 SP2 (on VM)? Do I need Windows 2008 Enterprise version for SCR? T hanks.

Hi guys, is there a script available to automate or make this fail over easier?

I would have to double check, as I wrote this one when 2007 sp1 was in Beta.

Thanks, great post.

“I want to note that many of the tasks above can be added to a script so that only 1 command has to be run which will rapidly improve recovery time.”

Is this available somewhere? Is there a script for failback too? Thought I’d ask before getting my hands dirty.

Log shipping (CCR/SCR) uses SMB = TCP 445.
