Sorry brain dead, I missed the netfinity part. What server are you running this in? If you have the IBM raid manager loaded you can run that within windows, otherwise you either run the config or open the box up. Your server configuration is going to determine how the drives are setup. If you get me the model of IBM server you have I can give more information. I know the 4M card very well as we have a few of them here.

That is your problem, you really, really, really need to get a multi-channel Raid card, the put the OS, Logs, and store on separate arms. Until then you performance is only going to get worse. -----Original Message----- From: Gonzalez, Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 2:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hard Drive Utilization No everything is on the same RAID. We have Blackberry Server edition but that barely does anything we only 5 people using it. Also we have Norton AV but I have shut that off and it still runs hot. Only the drives though the processor only runs at like 20% -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 2:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hard Drive Utilization Are logs and db on same raid 5 set? Logs should always be on Raid 1 and db on raid 5 (in an ideal environment). Logs are sequential I/O's where DB's are random I/O's. Are there other applications other than exchange running on the server? Are backups taking place at the same time (i.e. peak business hours)? -----Original Message----- From: Gonzalez, Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 2:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hard Drive Utilization Netfinity Ultra 160 4M.

What type of SCSI controller are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Gonzalez, Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 1:44 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hard Drive Utilization We have about 850 people on a dual 933 pIII with 2GB of ram. There is 140GB of storage on RAID5 and Gigabit Ethernet. I ran a perfmon on the hard drives and they run at close to 100% all the time. -----Original Message----- From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 1:32 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hard Drive Utilization yes/no What is your hardware config? We have about 750 on one PII 450 Xeon system and are not having any performance issues at all. What else is running on this box. Need input. -----Original Message----- From: Gonzalez, Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 1:24 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Hard Drive Utilization Does anyone else with a fairly large environment (+500 on one Server) have slowness issues related to hard drive utilization? By that I mean speed not actually how large. Are box runs very slow and the hard drives look peaked.
