Disk Configuration Best Practices
Our insurance agency management system runs on SQL, and we'll be upgrading
to a new version of the system this summer. Their minimum specs require a
new server, and I have questions about the optimal disk configuration for a
new SQL server. Our server vendor (Dell) recommended running the OS on a
RAID1 set and the Database on a RAID5 set. Do Microsoft Best Practices have
anything to say about this? My searches haven't found anything, and our
management system vendor's default configuration seems to have everything
running on a single RAID5 set. We may be forced into a particular
configuration by our management system vendor anyway, but if they ask why
I'd want to run them on separate volumes, I want to have a reasonable
response for them.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
