Design Help EV 9 SP2 Virtualised
Hello,
This is my first post in this Forum, so thank you for any information given in advance.
Our system is going to be virtualised using ESXi and all data is going to be held on a SAN.
The dilemma I am facing is what disks to use for the Indexing disks on the Mailbox, Journal and File system EV servers.
First what speed do you recommend - Fibre channel 15K or 10K?
What RAID are you using - Raid 1 or Raid 5?
Thanks again
Kieren
Faster is better, always, unless your backup processes are suspect/not fast in which case you will probably want a RAID5 i suppose, but bigger and faster is usually what you'd always gun for
