We switched to their major competitor. But now it's not a competitor anymore since they became the same company. But I still like servers that start with C better than those that start with H. But I think Ed is also from the C side, right? -----Original Message----- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 10:56 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: kinda OT - RAID on the exchange server Drop your hardware vendor. Been running my databases on RAID5's on Ed Crowley's employer's fine line of servers and NEVER EVER had an issue. Serdar Soysal -----Original Message----- From: Mark Peoples [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 2:57 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: kinda OT - RAID on the exchange server I apologise for the OT question... Has anyone experienced issues with bad striping on a RAID5e disk array? (hardware RAID) I have had this twice in the last 6 months. When a disk dies in the array it is replaced ASAP. RAID5e should be able to handle this without error right? When the RAID5e striping has errors, it registers sectors on the logical disk as bad and causes disk I/O errors - which screws (eventually corrupts) the exchange information store(s) on the logical drive and prevents backups from completing. hhhmmm ... perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why RAID5e couldn't handle the occassional defunct drive without screwing the rest of the array in the process of rebuilding itself... The hardware vendor has recommended re-creating the RAID array from scratch and restoring from backup.... Any thoughts? sorry again for the OT question - but I'll even throw in a Friday afternoon Haiku for good measure: Friday afternoon gotta get going home server is cactus Thanks, MP _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
