SCC--Single Copy Cluster --mailbox is on the shared disk. At any time, only one Virtual Exchange mailbox server owns the shared disk.

=====
Create a cluster with a shared storage
Microsoft Virtual server 2005 SP1 is used to create a shared SCSI storage.
Two nodes are added in the cluster--quorum shared disk is used.
Two NICs in each node: public and internal
For internal NIC configuration, you can read paper on Microsoft Technet or my other blog.
However, the following is important. If you miss the step, Exchange 2007 SP1 setup will not pass the network readiness check.
NODE1 and NODE2:
Network Connection window--Advanced menu--Advanced settings
Make sure that the PUBLIC NIC is on top.
Do the following in both nodes:
Cluster Administrator
Networks
NIC properties
======Install Mailbox role on NODE1:
=====Install the Exchange 207 sp1 mailbox role on the second node--only passive mailbox role;
Final adjustment:
The z: drive is the shared disk, which hosts the Mailbox file, and log file. Move it to the CMS1 virtual mailbox server group. Configure the physical disk as the dependent of First Storage Group and Second Storage Group.
