You can put the PFs on the cluster. There are some caveats around that if it were a CCR cluster, but they don't apply to a SCC cluster.

On the cluster side this isn't an actual CCR cluster, I don't think, this is a standard 2 server with DAS attached storage. Only one server is active at any one time. We are about 75% Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003 is almost phased out, maybe another 30-60 days. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael B.
