hi chaps,

sorry about the vagueness of question. I realise that it was fairly non descritpive.

The server we purchased comes preinstalled with windows 2003 sorage server and hp storage works. The server (4 disks) is preconfigured into 3 partitions, 2 mirrored OS partitions of 10gig each, and one data partition of 430 gig.

Our data is pretty much static. We have around 6 servers to consolidate, server names do not need to be maintained.

I guess my main enquiry is regarding the volumes. We were toying with the idea of splitting the main 430g volume into smaller sizeable volume chunks but were unsure of any pitfalls/advantages of doing so. Storage works also allows shadow copies to be created so also was looking for same info on these if anyone has used them.

For the actual migrations, I was going to perform manual copy and paste on the folders and shares as this is going to allow us to re evaulate, organise create and apply our security policies. Is this wise?

This is a huge question. What exactly you are looking for? Which OS you
are planning to install on them?

NAS devices are just like any other server, they don't need "extra" or
"special settings" different from any fileserver. They are only servers
with special hard drive features.

Don't be afraid; just repeat the configuration of the best fileserver you
got.

Hi Chaps, hope everyone is well.

Recently purchased HP Proliant DL100 NAS solution to consolidate a number
of
file servers we have.

Am looking for any information/experience with configuring this NAS
hardware
with respect to best configurations for disk volumes, file shares, shadow
copying and general good server configurations.

Am a NAS novice  and do not want to make irreversible, hasty decisions on
hardware configurations
