Do you need me to explain it all in small details? I had an Exchange server. Page file was on a separate RAID1 volume. RAID1 broke. Server crashed with a blue screen. Having the page file on RAID1 did not necessarily make it more reliable. Might as well have had the page file on a single drive. Why did I write this? Because I was answering someone else's remark "Placing the pagefile on a separate drive sacrifices reliability for performance."
Ok now? Can I go? -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 11:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: New Exchange Server What does that have to do with Exchange?

RAID did not save me. The server blue-screened. The RAID1 was physical. How about that for reliability? -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Depp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 7:46 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: New Exchange Server Why? Placing the pagefile on a separate drive sacrifices reliability for performance. This is not normally a choice I would make on a production server.

Check if you can get a single IDE or SCSI drive and stick it somewhere inside the server. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 12:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: New Exchange Server What's vitally important is to keep the logs on a separate physical volume from the databases. For 150 users, I agree that combining the OS and logs onto the same physical volume (I recommend separate partitions, though) shouldn't present significant performance problems.

I have 2 drives in RAID1 for OS and Logs, and 4 in a RAID5 for the Store. -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Avallone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 5:18 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: New Exchange Server I am in the process of building a new Exchange server and I have been trying to keep up with the post about configuration, but I will ask again. What is the proper hard drive configuration for setting up a new Exchange 2000 box for about 150 users? On which partition should I put the OS, the database etc. Thanks. -- Vincent Avallone iBiquity Digital (410) 872-1535 _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
