Thanks ...
Oops ... made a mistake in the thread.
"- 2 Secondary Domain (SECDOM) ... with 3 Post offices." ... should have read 1 (one).
In my design I was going to have the PO's failing over to each other, so in a double failover I would have had 3 PO's on one node (I'll look at that).
Also was going to have 2 failovers for the gateways ... will look at that too.
Thanks again ...
David

David,
A good start -now just fill in the blanks.
First -not sure why you have 2 Sec. Doms for 3 post offices you really only need one. But then to change this means moving users from 1 po to another in order to get rid of one of the Sec. domains.
Anyway....
I prefer to spread out the post offices as much as possible. So I would make sure the post offices have the ability to rest on 3 of 5 servers. And I would try to avoid doubling up post offices on the 'first' fail over. By the time you get to the 2nd fail over (3rd node) you will have to double up. Finally, give your gateways a little less fail over -maybe only 1 primary and 1 fail over. Remember your post offices are the most important part of the GW system. Primary can also have limited fail over.
Good luck!
Take Care.

Subject: GW Netware to Linux Matrix ...
Trying to come up with a good failover matric for the new OES2 Linux server cluster.
I WILL have;
- 1 Primary Domain (PRIDOM) ... empty.
- 2 Secondary Domain (SECDOM) ... with 3 Post offices.
- 3 Post Offices (PO1, PO2, PO3) ... with 700 users in online mode on each.
- 1 Secondary GateWay Domain (GATEDOM) ...
- 2 GWIA's.
The failover matrix I was thinking of is;
pridomsecdom
po1
po2
po3
gateway
gwia1
gwia2
node1
x
x
2
x
3
x
4
x
5
x
x
x
x - primary node
1 - first failover node
2 - second failover node
WHAT SHOULD MY 1ST. AND 2ND. FAILOVERS BE ???
