    Need help with Disk setup (RAID1 vs RAID10)

    We are procuring two more 37GB drives and a PERC4 controller. We are also moving the RAID1 pair for the OS into the RAID10 set. Please see the attached proposals for the new config. One question: Since this is an unconventional system whereby database loads and calculations take place...

    Need help with Disk setup (RAID1 vs RAID10)

    I am really sorry for the server model confusion. Between dev/qa/uat/train for our various servers (db, web, etc.) We have 25 servers in our application group. As far as procuring the controllers, I believe that our organization forces us to buy from Dell for warranty purposes. We are...

    Need help with Disk setup (RAID1 vs RAID10)

    I am SO SORRY, I made a big mistake. This is a 6600, not a 6300. Technical Specifications Dell™ PowerEdge™ 6600 Systems User's Guide Microprocessor type up to four Intel® Xeon™ microprocessors with a internal operating frequency of at least 1.40 GHz Front-side bus (external) speed 400...

    Need help with Disk setup (RAID1 vs RAID10)

    Sorry to be dense, so are you saying that adding another controller and dividing up my disks between them may indeed improve total disk throughput?

    Need help with Disk setup (RAID1 vs RAID10)

    Thank you so much for the replies. I am a little disgusted because we went to our tech-ops team (who procures and manages all company servers), and told them what we needed (massive disk speed), and they pointed us to this box/config. It's less than 12 months old, and it seems like they should...

    Need help with Disk setup (RAID1 vs RAID10)

    I am an application developer in an organization where we have no server experts. My application (Essbase OLAP Server) on a PE6300, is experiencing performance problems, and the bottleneck is the disk (RAID10). I theorize that splitting the RAID10 set up into three RAID1 sets will work better...

    Looking for ways to speed up backup

    Dumb suggestion here: Could you trim the backup load? We were backing up entire systems because we had time (and space), but as our data grew, we also began running long. We started backing up only specific data files, which saved a ton of time (and space). For the record, we have a similar...

    How to Backup/Restore Win Scheduled Tasks?!?!

    I backup the c:\winnt\tasks folder, but when I restore it, nothing shows up in the tasks folder even though BE shows XXXXX bytes restored. When I use Windows Explorer to look at the folder, nothing but the "Create new Task" icon. When I restore to a redirect folder (like c:\test), the folder...

    Possible to Backup Veritas Job Definitions?

    In a disaster recovery situation, it would be handy to have the Restore job definitions saved on a CD-R to expedite the restore process, and eliminate the steps that involve manual configuration. Where are job definitions stored, and how simple is it to "save-off" and "restore" this info...
