Need to Move exchange stores to new SAN

I have a exchange 2003 cluster with two node that currently use a NAS. We got a new SAN and I need to move the exchange stores to the new SAN. The documentation I have says I can just move the databases to the new drives; however when I try to access the storeage group properties to change them to the new drive letter I get an error. "this option is available only if the exchange system manager runs on the server the files are located on." I have stopped the cluster services and am running it on the server that is the active "exchange server".

    I had to stand up a third exchange box that was not part of the cluster. Then I was able to shut down the cluster. After that, i was able to move the mailboxes to the new SAN.

Mercedes e240 front side lights not working,bulbs and fuses okay

You will need a DMM with continuity testing to troubleshoot the problem. Continuity testing works by "beeping" when the circuit is complete. Test continuity from under trhe dash to the lights by using the wiring diagram. Move from node to node testing continuity until the break in the circuit is found. Replace as necessary. Get a wiring diagram and DMM from local autoparts store. Chilktons and/or Haines manuals contain all necessary wiring diagrams for troubleshooting.

How come my mail icon says cannot get mail

This is just a bug by Apple and has several quick fixes:
Move all items from inbox to a different folder. The most commonly successful fix for this issue is to move all items from the inbox into a temporary folder created on the server. It appears that problematic messages in the inbox can cause the error message.
Upgrade Exchange Server.You may need to apply a service pack to the Exchange server to which your iPhone is connecting. Some users have reported that they need to install Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 to eliminate this error.

My speedometer is stuck on 30 and wont move either way

You'll probably need to either replace the cluster with a used one, or send your cluster out to be fixed. Most dealers offer an exchange service for a fee. You get a rebuilt unit with the mileage set to your current number.

At idol it reads 60 and whi le driving it goes to 120mph.checked for codes none stored looked for loose ground none what ya think?

You most likely have a bad servo motor inside the cluster which is what actually moves the speedometer needle. Similar servos also move the rest of the needles in the other gauges. I see this type of failure fairly often and the fix is to remove the cluster and have it sent out for repairs. There are several companies that can do this but I usually take the ones I encounter to my local GM dealer and have them send it out. I prefer to have the one that came out of the vehicle fixed and returned rather than exchanged but either method will work fine. Most places will replace all the servo's and bulbs. Haven't seen one fail again after being repaired. Hope this helps you find your problem!

Need Infrastructure Hint

If you need to store this data for several years, it's going to be a huge machine.

I solved a similar issue by using a standard PC and fill it with disks, and then run Freenas on it. It's BSD based, gives you NFS, SMB/CIFS, iSCSI, FTP, HTTP/WebDAV, Apple, ... connectivity in an open source package, ready to go, easy to manage. it supports doing software Raid 5 with a bunch of disks, so stable and secure. I even lost a disk last week, and replaced it with another one. After 2h the system was 'OK' again...

If you really need huge storage capacity, go for a 'standard' storage server (supermicro for instance) that can store 24 or more disks... You have them in several brands, and the SuperMicro ones aren't that expensive.

Put in a bunch of inexpensive disks (500GB SATA-II disks are really affordable these days) and create a RAID5 array out of all these...

If you want to be even more secure, go with hardware Raid controllers. We use 3Ware/AMCC controllers all the time.

If you got the money, Sun just released a couple of 'Storage Servers' in their 7000 series... Go check them out...

New to exchange server 2003

Hello there!
First things First!
1) you always going to have problems with exchange servers, or migrations. ** systems are not perfects**
2) You can migrate the emails to the new server, but, if only are in the correct version of Exchange 2003.
3) if backup is damage or fail, you lost everything.
4) try to reinstall the Server, and all utilites, is better, I know takes more time, but is better because you created yourself.
I suggest you to install from scratch!
Good luck
