I think the Logs will perform better on a RAID1 than on a RAID5. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 12:29 PM To: Exchange Discussions 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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 11:43 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Configuration of Hard Drive Partitions for Exchange 2003 Server ? 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? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
