How many Transaction logs is normal? |
|
|
I am running Exchange 2003 server and am trying to find out what is the
normal number of daily transaction logs? I have approx 280 mailboxes and 2500
public folders (priv.edb is 28GB and pub.edb is 40GB). The public folders
have been migrated from a 5.5 server and I am in the process of removing the
replicas using pfmigrate. There is quite a lot of traffic on the server as it
is part of a larger exchange organisation.
At present the transaction logs grow to about 2 GB in 24 hrs (or a new 5MB
file every 3 minutes during the day - less out of office hours). I am just
wondering if this is normal log growth or do I have excessive numbers of logs
for the load on the Exchange server?

Answers to all is - it depends. On number of users and mail traffic.
Having said that, 2 Gigs of transaction logs a day for 280 users/mailboxes
doesn't seem too out of whack, imo (unless you established a baseline
earlier in your environment and this is way above that).

Once you do a full backup they go away anyway. Unless you have a large
volume of users (or low disk space) I wouldn't be too concerned. I can send
you benchmarks and calculations if you want.
The key is not to run out of disk. At the highest I use 20 GB containers
designated just for Transaction logs, this is per storage group.
Its all relative to your users habits for mail usage, it is a direct
relationship.

Thanks
The daily backup does clear the logs. I have the transaction logs on a
separate partition on a SAN and have increased the disk to 15GB. After a lot
of searching I've found that there is not much info for sizing the
transaction log partition.
