About installing Mail Security on a Veritas Cluster Server

Mail Security is integrated with the active/passive Veritas Cluster Server environment. When you install Mail Security, the product detects that it is being installed in a Veritas Cluster Server environment. The product automatically registers a cluster resource with the Veritas Cluster Server.

The corresponding Mail Security cluster agent does the following:

  • Monitors the Mail Security service

  • Stops and restarts the service, as necessary

  • Ensures that the product settings and quarantine data are copied to the SMSMSE folder on the shared storage

Mail Security supports the following Veritas Cluster Server configurations:

  • Active/passive N-to-1

  • Active/passive N+1

  • Active/passive N-to-N

Some considerations about using the Veritas Cluster Server with Mail Security are as follows:

  • Mail Security does not support active/active Veritas Cluster Server configurations

  • Upgrades from Mail Security 5.0 to Mail Security 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0 are not supported on a Veritas Cluster Server configuration

  • Mail Security does not support Veritas Cluster Server on Exchange 2010.

Mail Security supports Veritas Cluster Server versions 5.0 with the latest service patch, and 5.1.
