If money is a concern, here is my .02:
All drives Dynamic (unless mirroring the SCSI via hardware raid) and all
NTFS.
2 EIDE HD.
Partition 1 Partition 2
Partition 3
Boot and OS (Mirrored) Page File (One on each drive) Exchange
Tran log (Mirrored)
2 SCSI
One partition. Mirrored. Exchange DB.
The reason for have 2 page files, each on a separate partition on separate
drives, is it is not recommended to mirror the page file, and having 2 will
keep you from having a blue screen in the event of a drive failure.

Mirror Mirror on the wall .....
Seriously buy another 40gB IDE as they are dirt cheap and mirror it, maybe
do the same with the SCSI. Loads less hassle in the event of a drive
failure.

Hi! Expertise,
I'm planning to hookup another exchange 2000 server, with disaster recovery
in mind. So I read some Microsoft articles with related to disaster recovery
specially - Disaster recovery exchange 2000.pdf article. What they say is
you have to have 6 hard disks.
Unfortunately I do not have much $$$$ . so my plan is to have a 2 SCSI
Drivers - 18GB each and 1 IDE Hard Drive - 40GB, and the hard disk partition
scheme is..
FDisk 1 (IDE HD) - Driver C: (Fat16)-windows 2000 boot files and Active
drive, 100MB Primary partition
- Drive d: (NTFS) - windows 2000 operating system files and swap
files Remaining capacity Extended Partition
FDisk 2 (SCSI) - Drive E: (NTFS) - Exchange 2000 files and additional server
applications, 100% full extended partition
FDisk 3 (SCSI) - Drive F: (NTFS) - transaction log files and database files.
100% full extended partition
Can I know from you all is this disk partition setups are ok!
This will give low performance due to use of the IDE HD?????????
Or this is not the way..
Thank you in advance
