Are you using MF 1.8 or MFXP/PS??
If you are using MFXP or PS you can store your images/packages on a standard
file server (aka cheaper storage than SAN). If you store the packages on a
standard file server then you do not need to backup your PS machine (that is if
you do not store data on them) and it will mean that recovery time will be
quicker. The size of the partition is solely dependant on the type of
applications you are pushing to your servers and the number of iterations you
plan to keep (ie how many old copies of the previous version of the
applications). We are using around 9G at the moment with approximately 100
apps. Work out the number of apps you will be installing, the size of each
application and multiply it by the number of updates you think each will have -
you then will have the estimated growth rate for your volume. If this store
fills up quicker than expected you can simply place any new updates onto a
different server and point IMS to the new location for the new applications.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody is using this utility. I wanted some feedback as
to your set-ups for the server itself. More specifically the partition for
the hard drive space. I am planning to use 10 gb for the o/s 40 gb for the
applications [and their packaging]. This will all be logical disks [on a
SAN] and the local drives on the server will be for paging files.
How does this sound?
