I am serious. I remember reading a white paper about Hosted Exchange and they wrote about that.

If it is a raid controller then, no you don't have to CHANGE it regularly - just charge it...when the time comes for a charge the system will inform you. You then initiate the charging process, and while it's charging the cache will be disabled. Also, Raid 5 on the SAN? I have seen serious performance drops using large raid 5 sets with a san. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 9:40 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Slow performance A consensus? Probably no. But I'd tend to agree that if the controller has a battery[1], it's OK to have it on. [1] Those need to be changed regularly.. If this is news to you, you should have the cache disabled. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 11:05 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Slow performance > > > Is there a concensus on this? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 7:12 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Slow performance > > > I always thought that write-back cache should be always > turned off, whether it has battery or not. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Edgington, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 6:29 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Slow performance > > > hrm... possibly you have write cache disabled...
