We have a 2 node CCR mailbox cluster with 1 Hub/Cass server that we are in the process of upgradeing from 2007 RTM to SP1. We upgraded the Hub/Cass with no problems. We then upgraded the Passive nodeb. We have not yet upgraded node A because I saw a couple of funny errors in the app error log. I am getting warnings on MSExchangeIS stating that Log truncation open RPC context to the Information store faild for storage group... Error code 1745. Is it normal to get this prior to upgrading the cms or node A?
When we stopped the clustered mailbox server and moved it to node B we noticed that it stayed offline. Do you have to run the setup /upgradecms before it will go online? If so about how long will this take? We only have about 200 mailboxes and may need to schedule downtime if is going to take a while. We are a little nervious about completing the upgrade until we know that these issues are normal. Thanks for your help.
