HI all, I've been rereading Kent Agerlund's *Mastering the Fundamentals* book for Config Man 2012, and one of the things he recommends in the Post-SQL Configuration section on page 32 is that:
One of the recommended post installation tasks is to create additional SCCM > database files[..] since the server has two CPUs with six cores each, you > will create 11 additional files. The estimated size of the database is 30 > GB, which will be split into 11 files of 3 GB each that will autogrow 1gb > at a time. [PARAPHRASED] The chapter continues on with a script that accomplishes the splitting but doesn't explain why this is done. I've looked around and basically can't figure out what any of this means, and can't find any blog posts or recommendations or (most needed) an explanation of what this is doing and why I'd want to do it. If you guys could shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.
