Installing the Feature Pack Using a Dedicated Network A dedicated network between the Exchange server and the Windows Storage Server computer is recommended to handle Exchange database traffic between the two computers. A second network adapter in each server is used to connect to the public network and to Active Directory. For more information about setting up the dedicated network, see "Setting Up the Dedicated Network" later in this chapter. Installing the Feature Pack on an Exchange Cluster The Feature Pack must be installed on each Exchange server that uses a Windows Storage Server computer to host its databases or transaction logs. If the Exchange servers are clustered, the Feature Pack must be installed on each Exchange server in the cluster. For more information about using the Feature Pack in an Exchange server cluster, see Chapter 1, "Planning a Deployment." Setting Up the Dedicated Network Using the Feature Pack to remotely store Exchange databases and transaction logs requires that Exchange data travel over a network connection between the Exchange server and the Windows Storage Server computer. It is recommended that a dedicated network be used to handle Exchange database traffic between the Exchange server and the Windows Storage Server computer. The recommended configuration for the network between the Exchange server and the Windows Storage Server computer consists of: A dedicated Gigabit network At least two network adapters in both the Windows Storage Server computer and the Exchange server: One network adapter that supports the dedicated Gigabit network for Exchange traffic between the Exchange server and the Windows Storage Server computer One network adapter that is used to connect the Exchange server to the public network and to Active Directory Feature Pack Deployment Guide 28
