Number of Storage Groups?
Hello All, I am nearing the 16 GB limit on my first and only storage group on an Exchange 2000 server (NOT Enterprise edition). Can I simply create another storage group on the same server and move over half my users get the space limit down from 16 GIGS? Thanks for your help. Timothy J.

RE: Number of Storage Groups?
Exchange 2000 Standard only supports one storage group. You need Enterprise to add more. -Original Message- From: Hooks, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 5:47 AM To: Exchange Discussions Hello All, I am nearing the 16 GB limit on my first and only storage group on an Exchange 2000 server (NOT Enterprise edition).

RE: Number of Storage Groups?
Tim, I believe the Standard version of Exchange is limited to 1 Storage group and 1 database.

RE: Number of Storage Groups?
Nope. Ex2K Std edition only allows a single SG (16GB max). You need to purchase, license and install Enterprise Edition, which will allow you to have expanded storage capability. -Original Message- From: Hooks, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 8:47 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Number of Storage Groups?

Enterprise also supports saucer separation. This feature is definitely worth the extra expense. (That made me laugh so hard this morning.

RE: ? about the number of storage groups per server and number of stores
If I recall, you take a 100MB hit for each SG you load and another 10MB hit for each IS within the SG. That's just to get the system started. Once the dynamic buffer caching starts growing the allocation to hold the active data, it's more. As Chris said, fragmentation of memory starts to become a problem. If you ever shut down one of the stores or SG's for any reason on a system that fully loaded, you may not be able to start it back up without a full restart. === Andy Webb[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.

RE: ? about the number of storage groups per server and number of stores
The underlying programming was built for 15 SG and 6 MDB's per SG, however, practical limitations kick in with 4. All the Official MS documentation says that Exchange 2K Enterprise version is limited to 4 SG's and 5 MDB's per SG. You have to remember that each SG is a separate storage engine, requiring it's own memory space and a big slice of processor time.

The theoretical 90 was scaled back to 20 for RTM and even at 20 I have doubts about the long term stability of a system which has all of them mounted due to memory fragmentation issues Perhaps when 64 bit windows is a common thing. -Original Message- From: Felicity Smith To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 5/22/2002 12:20 PM Subject: ? about the number of storage groups per server and number of stores I thought you could create 15 storage groups and 6 stores per Exchange 2000 server.
