Hello All,
I'm having a bit of difficulty trying to come up with a suitable Mailbox design for our new Exchange 2010 server.
The server will be Multi Role with near on 900+ users moving across from Exchange 2007 with now HA or DAG.
The current available disks are 4 x 7.2K RPM SAS 3.5"
The three options I was looking at was as follows:
4 x Disks at RAID 5 then one LUN for 4 x Databases and one LUN for Log files
or having
2 x Disks RAID 1 for one LUN for 4x Databases
2 x Disks RAID 1 for one LUN for Log files
Or finally
Having tried to use the Exchange Mailbox Calculator;
Buying 2 more disks then having the current 4 as RAID1 for 4x databases each on there own LUN then 2 new disks for Log files.
The following are my user criteria:
157 x with 1.5GB mailboxes
105 x with 750Mb mailboxes
717 x with 100Mb mailboxes
All averaging 50 x 75k messages per day
Many Thanks
