Hi
If I need a 10TB archive area for my email archives and I want each partition to be 2TB prior to rollover (for backup purposes) what are the benefits of creating these are 5 x 2TB volumes on the HP SAN storage over creating a single 10TB volume.
I suspect rollover would be simplified as the properties page seems to assume that rollover is done at a volume size level - by which I mean that I get options to rollover when there is a certain % or GB space left on the partition..... if I had a single 10TB partition and I wanted to rollover the partition when it reached 2TB then my first parttion would need to roll over when 80% space was left and my second would need to rollover when there was 60% space left etc etc so each partition would require a unique set of settings.
Is it generally a more common practice to configure partition sizes at the array level where possible and to have the EV server with multiple volumes (eg G:\ H:\ J:\ K:\ L:\ etc) ?
thanks again
K
