Setting up Exchange 2003 Cluster help required. |
|
|
Can any body help,
I need a recomendation on seting up Exchange 2003 cluster HW side. We have 2
HP DL 380 servers with 3 x 36 hdd as well as 100GB SAN disk to be shared by
these server.
Plan is to have Exchange 2003 Ent in a clustered env. with 4 mail stores,
but how do I set the storage and do I need to partition SAN.
I had a look on MS and recomendation its imposible to implemente with the
SAN I have. MS are talking about diferent disks and diferent RAID settings.
All I need its for someone to tell me whats the best way to set the HW.
Many thanks for your help.

Simply configure a raid 5 for the four information store databases and stmp
queues and a raid 1 for the transaction logs. Don't put any other data on
the transaction log disks.
Use raid 1 as system disks in the physical nodes as system disks (2 x 36GB
raid 1 + one disk as hostspare).
