Best Practices Knowledge -ATT Classes, Articles, Books
(www.TayKratzer.com) A Cluster of two is not much of a cluster, Use
three nodes Check the Health of GroupWise Plan, Plan, Plan Document, Document, Document Set Standards - Names, IP Addresses, Ports Use the configuration files to guarantee success Not everything must failover - Acceptable
Degradation Not every GroupWise component must be
