We are currently Installing some new Windows 2000 servers for Our SMS Site and I have some Performance Question. We currently use HP Lh4 Servers with Raid 3si cards. We have 12 9 gig drives. I just found out we are creating 2 Arrays and one global hot spare. Then Creating 1 4 gig logical drive Raid 1 and then 2 other logical drives both raid 5 with what is left over. Then after windows 2000 Is installed the 2 local drives are set as a volume set. My first thoughts would be that creating a volume set would take up more resources then to configure the arrays in the hardware to use only one logical raid 5 drive. I am looking for documentation on the Volume set and Software raid and how much overhead it has on the server?? Any help would be appreciated My current standard I am trying to incorporate would be to create 1 8gig mirror set for operating system and 1 70gig raid 5 drive for data and applications. Any one have any documentation as to what is the best way to configure these drives to perform to there max.. with some redundancy.
