AdvisorSummit.com Summary   Best Practices Knowledge -ATT Classes, Articles, Books ( 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
