Use the Domain Worksheet you filled out in

In the Domain Database Location field, be sure to browse through the drive you mapped
in
In the Link to Domain field, link the new domain to the primary domain of your
GroupWise system.
The Configure Link option is selected by default. Select TCP/IP Link to the Other
Domain. Refer to the Agent Clustering Worksheet that you filled out in
Secondary IP Addresses and Cluster-Unique Port Numbers for Agents in the Cluster" on
page 29
specify in order to configure the link.
6 Use the Link Configuration tool to change the links from the new domain to all other domains
in the cluster to direct TCP/IP links, following the steps provided in
Protocol between Domains to
Administration
Although a complete mesh link configuration is the most efficient, it might not be feasible in all
situations. Set up as many direct TCP/IP links as possible for best MTA performance in the
cluster.
7 Make sure you are still connected to the primary domain.
8 Rebuild the domain database for the new domain, following the steps provided in
Domain or Post Office
Be sure to browse to the database location (under
through the virtual server that was created when you cluster-enabled the GroupWise volume.
The database rebuild is necessary in order to transfer the MTA configuration information and
the domain link information into the secondary domain database, because the MTA for the new
domain is not yet running.

3.4 Creating a New Post Office in a Cluster

You can create a new post office on the same GroupWise volume where its domain resides or on a
separate GroupWise volume. If the post office and its domain are on the same GroupWise volume,
they fail over together. If they are on separate GroupWise volumes, they fail over separately.
To create a new post office in a clustering environment:
