I'm assuming you are referring to the FC series and not the IP series. As long as they will concatenate you the proper sized LUN's, and you get the I/O requirements for your user load, you should be OK. It's been my experience that with any LUN over 36GB, EMC gets very nervous about. I'm in the process right now of trying to get 4, 143.31GB storage group volumes, 3, 33.6GB Transaction log volumes, and a Quorum volume configured for a client...... I'll let you know how it turns out after I run JetStress against them.

I'd be more worried about EMC as your storage than the size of your IS. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hanji [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 4:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: IS 70GB and growing.... Hello. I have been told that Exchange 5.5 with IS bigger than 50G is VERY bad. It means there is big chance the IS won't start after restart..... I am wondering if this is true, meaning, this is an undocument limitation, and should I be afraid to have IS above 70G? The IS is on EMC. The server is very very strong and acts very fast....
