Yuck....you definitely want to dedicate spindles to your Exchange server if at all possible. Sounds like you may have identified the performance problem.
We're running our Exchange server off a similiar setup as yours (CX700, switched fabric, etc.) Did you partition your Exchange LUNs using Diskpart? (create partition primary align=64). What switches are present in your boot.ini? The following have worked well for our server which matches yours almost identically hardware wise: /3GB /USERVA=3030 /MAXMEM=4096. - Sean On 2/11/08, Robb Pickinpaugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok, I've got a lot to do and sort through. > > Also the comments about the SAN volumes causing my issue... they may be > closer than I initially thought. > > One of our other production systems is sharing the disks that my Exchange > LUN is living on... that users on that system have been running processes > that are pounding the system pretty hard, including the disk, and this all > started last Friday. > > Coincidence??? probably not. > > I'll keep digging, now at least I have directions to dig that may give me > good answers. > > Thanks a bunch. > ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ > ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ > ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
