Subject: RE: Configuration of Hard Drive Partitions for Exchange 2003 Server
?

My OS is RAID1
My Logs RAID5
My Stores RAID5 on an external array.  

I have 2 storage groups across the external array.  The array chassis
has 2 separate interface cards that conncet to a single dual channel
SCSI controller. 

In a perfect world, I'd have 2 separate SCSI Controllers, and keeps my
logs for each storage group on a separate physical disks, but I don't
find that to be necessary at my current size of about 1300 mailboxes.

Unless you have very few users, you should be thinking along the lines
of separate physical volumes along the lines of:

C:  RAID-1 OS, Exchange binaries (partition this into two if you want)
D:  RAID-1 Exchange logs
E:  RAID-5 or RAID-0+1 Exchange databases

Replicate D: and E: for each storage group.

If you have a SAN, the rules may be different.

  Hello Everyone,

    How would you setup the hard drive partitions for an Exchange 2003
Server? 

I'm thinking 3 partitions

C = OS   
D= Exchange
E= Exchange files (transaction log files , ect...) 
  
 Or would you set it up differently?
