Yes I know this is going to be a loaded question but I figured I would throw it out there.
I am in the process of swapping out my hardware to newer hardware. And the question has to do with configuration of the Raid Drives.
My old box was 2 banks of 6 drives for a total of 12 spindles.
The first 6 (raid 5) were partitioned for c: drive and F: drive
with c: being boot and f: being software. the second set of 6 (raid 5) contained the database. With a Total Available Space on all drives of 600 gb, we ran out of disk space so the DV and PY databases (data were not on line)
The new server will be 2 drives mirrored for boot (C. 5 Drives set to raid 5 for the software (F.
Now comes the biq question for the database I now have 14 drives available and the question becomes should I make it 1 set with 14 drives or break it into 2 sets and have say the some high use tables (Sales, Inventory) on 1 set and some high use tables (GL) on the other set?
This will give us a total of 3.4 TB of new disk space.
Thanks for the input.
