Hello,
Does anybody could advise what's the best practice and how we need to format the disks on EV for Exchange environment? What's the size can be of allocation unit size for EV servers - Index, Vault store partitions and etc.?
Our EV environment will be on Windows 2012 x64 R2.

what version of EV and what type of storage (make, model, disks, etc) will you be using? it is strongly recommended to work with a partner as opposed to trying to design your own EV environment.

EV v11 will be used for Exchange archiving on NetApp storage (OnTAP 8.2.x 7-Mode). Index files, msmq and etc. will be located on fast disks, vault stores on slow SATA drives.

I spoke with Symantec and they've advised that 4K for Index locations and 64K for Vault stores is good enough.
