Not a SQL GURU, but a SharePoint installation has like a dozen DB's
under the covers. Depending on usage, you MAY see some value in storing
a couple of them (indexing, and I forgettheotherone), on a separate
mirror.

 

If I can find the doc we generated here 18 months or so ago, I'll pass
more on... but IIRC, it was based on a sizing/allocation recommendation
paper from MS you should be able to find...

Subject: SharePoint - SQL Backend setup

 

I am designing my SQL server for a SharePoint farm.  I have an iSCSI
array with 15 - 420GB SAS drives.  I want to use the array to house the
transaction logs, database and backups.

 

My thought is to use two drives in a RAID1 for the transaction logs
(420GB), Three drives in a RAID5 for the DB Backups (837GB) and Ten
drives in a RAID 10 for the database (2TB).  The server will be backed
up by DPM, so the DB Backups volume won't need to hold but a day or two
of backups.

 

Any SQL gurus see a problem with this setup?
