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
