What is Protected Memory? Administrator-defined space for NLMs

Why do we “love” and need Protected Memory for Clustering?

The cubicle office worker analogy What we do not like about Protected Memory

SummarySummary

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

clustered
