Technical Notes

PRB: Zetalink Exchange components are not cluster aware

ZTN2029

ID: ZTN2029

This Zetalink technical note applies to:

  • Zetalink version 1.0

Symptom

The Zetafax installation program fails to install Zetalink Exchange components on an Exchange Server 2000 cluster.

Cause

The Zetalink Exchange components were not developed to work in a clustered environment. The MS Cluster service (MSCS) provide DLL's to allow applications to link to MSCS and take advantage of its high availability and fail over capabilities. Currently Zetalink does not use these DLL's and is only supported in single node server configurations.

Status

The behaviour of the software versions given above is as designed.
