Exchange enterprise edition storage group/database distribut |
|
|
So we're just about to roll out Exchange, and our schedule has
unfortunately been moved up by "pressures from above", so I haven't had
enough time to work out how I want to lay out storage groups, databases,
etc.
We have Exchange enterprise edition, with probably 300ish users, and I
anticipate 100 or gigs of data after the initial conversion. Multiple
storage groups seem like a good idea for backup/recovery purposes, but I
also would like to save some space on things with single instance storage
and such, which you lose with multiple storage groups if you're not careful.
How are other people laying out their Exchange data?

Our company has around 400 users for one exchange server so I created one
storage group with multiple stores, so if I loose a store it does not effect
the stores.

Hello
If you have one server, you need to consider a disk failure…
The best way is to create 2 partition for the database (preferable 2 raid 5
array(
Create 2 storage group and create 2 mailbox stores on each storage group
** DO NOT PLACE THE edb FILE ON RAID 1 (MIRROR)!!!
The best place for the exchange log files is on mirror array – Away from the
edb files…
Be aware that every storage group manage sufficient set of log files.
