Hi everyone, I wonder if I can tap your wealth of knowledge on a configuration issue I am trying to resolve before I continue with an installation? I am putting in an Exchange 2007 SP1 CCR on 2 HP Proliant DL580G5 servers with iSCSI storage. these have 2 onboard NICs and 2 card-based NICs
The question I have is whether I can network team the Public NICs on the nodes to give NFT or if this will cause issues with the Cluster?
If anyone can give me some advice or insights from their experience I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Nik

"What happens if I untick this?"

For those of you stumbling across this post, the answer is, Yes, you can team the Public adaptors.
You can also do the same for private BUT DON'T!!
Teaming the private interface can cause a false negative as it fails-over. This causes the Cluster to fail-over when the nodes are actually OK.
This is not majorally harmful, but it is by no means ideal

The Public adaptors will be fine on a Fault Tolerance set-up. That will give you a better uptime solution and a little more stability.
