Modifying the Exchange database service group

The following steps describe how to modify an Exchange service group using the Exchange Server configuration wizard. If you run the wizard to add a system to an online service group, resources having local attributes may go in an UNKNOWN state for a short duration. These resources will come out of the UNKNOWN state in the next monitor cycle.

To modify an Exchange service group

  1. Click Start > All Programs > Veritas > Veritas Cluster Server > Configuration Tools > Exchange Server 2010 Configuration Wizard

    On Windows 2012 operating systems, use the Apps menu.

  2. Read the information on the Welcome panel and click Next.
  3. On the Wizard Options panel, click Modify service group, click the service group to be modified, and click Next.
  4. Follow the wizard instructions and make desired modifications to the service group configuration.
