When you implement a new GroupWise system or a new domain or post office in a clustering
environment, overall GroupWise system design does not need to change substantially. For a review,

configuration of individual components of your GroupWise system will be significantly different.
This section helps you plan the following GroupWise components in a cluster:
A new GroupWise system consisting of the primary domain and the initial post office
A new secondary domain
A new post office
The GroupWise agents (MTA and POA)
During the planning process, component configuration alternatives are explained. For example, you
might want the domain and post office together on the same shared volume or on different shared
volumes. You might want to install the agents to standard
created directories on shared volumes where domains and post offices reside. You

might or might not need to run the agents in protected memory.
