Re: SAN Setup Recommendations

2008-09-23 Thread Joe Fox
I just met with my EMC Rep last week as we need to add my disk to our SAN.
Here are the figures that he gave me on IOPS:

15K RPM - 180 IOPS (FC Drives)
10K RPM - 120 IOPS (FC Drives)
7.2K RPM - 70-80 IOPS (SATA Drives)

 I'm not at all experienced on Exch 2007, but if the same disk

 group. You want to have your logs on separate spindles if at all possible.
 I'm not familiar with HP's SAN offering, but you should be able to migate
 the LUN and have it be transparent to the host. (Since you mentioned having
 2 VRAID1 on the second disk group, I'm assuming the host see's these as two
 different physical disks.)

 2) Typically RAID 10 is recommended for hosting info stores, but depending
 on your user load (read: IOPS), RAID 5 may suit your needs just fine.
 However, given the number of DBs you're supporting (and not knowing the
 number/type of users) I would be inclined to recommend at least two RAID5
 groups (on dedicated spindles) for hosting each of your storage groups.

 3) It may be too late, but I believe it is recommended to build separate
 storage groups before populating each storage group with multiple databases:

 Your Setup:
 SG1 - DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4
 SG2 - DB5, DB6, DB7, DB8

 Recommended:
 SG1 - DB1, DB5
 SG2 - DB2, DB6
 SG3 - DB3, DB7
 SG4 - DB4, DB8

 The obvious disadvantage is you would want to provide 4 separate RAID 1
 groups for logs.

 The raid 5 disk group is split into 8 VRAID5 sets and the RAID1 disk group

 Sounds like you have one disk group and you've created several LUNs with
 varying Vraid types(1,5) within that Disk Group.  Just remember the
 Vraid1 and Vraid5 sets are sharing the same disks within that Disk
 Group.  Log writing and DB writing have different write
 patterns(sequential vs. random) so placing them on the same set of
 spindles could cause head contention.  Best practice is separate
 spindles for logs and DB.   Sounds like resources are limited, and
 depending on your performance requirements, this could be fine.

 I think, from how I am looking at it, it seems that all disks on the are
 all
 together in one big array (RAID5) then broken down into several smaller
 VRAID5 arrays.

 It looks like there is about 2TB of disk space allocated to Exchange
 each
 are 72Gb 10k drives

 Does that help any?

  Forgive me if I am not explaining this correctly...
 
  I am currently working in implementing an Exchange 2007 CAS/HT server
 as
  well as an exchange 2007 server as a secondary mailbox server with the
  existing Exchange 2003 seerver.
 
  Currently the Exchange 2003 server is setup to have all Logs and DB's
 on a

  Before I set up the new exchange 2007 back end server, i want to make
 sure
  that the SAN is setup properly for Exchange.
 
  As of now, there are 2 storage groups with 4 stores in each storage
 group.
 
  On the SAN, each store is stored in 8 individual Luns that are VRAID 5
 
  the logs are stored seperately for each

That I don't know. I believe they are Fujitsu Fibre Channel drives (10K and
15K) for our Clariion CX3-10.  Not sure on the OEM of the SATA drives for
the same.  For my application it's a SAN being used for Oracle, but I'll
double check those numbers.

Come to think of it, it was a lunch meeting with the engineer and our sales
guy, so he could have been exaggerating some.  :)

  Is that sequential read only?



 'Cuz those numbers seem high. Very high. What are the physical drive types
 and models? If you can't get those, the relevant metrics are: 1] inter-track
 latency, 2] full-bore average read access, and 3] full-bore average write
 access.



 For Exchange 2007 database access, which is completely random, per 10 K RPM
 spindle you generally see something like 1] 1 ms, 2] 8 ms, and 3] 12 ms. On
 average, read:write is 1:1, so you average 8 + 12 = 20 / 2 = 10 ms average
 access. This gives you an IOPS of 1000 ms / (10 ms + 1 ms) = 91 IOPS



 Big difference in performance and capacity planning between 91 IOPS and 120
 IOPS.



 I covered this recently in:




 http://theessentialexchange.com/blogs/michael/archive/2008/09/19/it-s-all-about-the-iops-silly.aspx



 and




 http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0809L=EMO-NEWSLETTERT=0F=S=P=1470



 Note that 100% sequential read eliminates the inter-track latency, and the
 same drive gives you an IOPS of 125, much closer to the numbers you were
 told. You need to verify that you are being told what you THINK you are
 being told. Salespeople tend to quote the most favorable number…

 Two different things.

  

 There is a database size limit and there is a per-user size limit. DIR 
 counts against the DB size limit, but not against the per-user size limit.

  

 And, by the way, Exchange 2007 has no database size limit, even in 
 Standard Edition. That is a good reason right there for you to upgrade. J

 I have to askare you **positive** that this is the case? (Sorry 
 about the hijack). Reason I ask is that not long ago I hit the 75GB 
 limit, had the users do major cleanup of their mailboxes and ran an 
 offline defrag with the end result being very little change in overall 
 db size (I did read the article saying that the calculation doesn't 
 include any whitespace). End result, still bouncing off the top of the 
 limit even though the total mailbox size showed about 30gb less then 
 than the maximum. I changed my DIR from the 30 day value to 5, bounced 
 the server, took it offline and did another defrag and **poof** 30gb 
 db change and everything is good.

  

 Am I confused? LOL!..wouldn't be the first time!

 DIR doesn't affect over-limit calculations (which is arguably a bug, 
 but I lost that argument).

  

 Depending on the size of the mailbox a 60 MB difference is immaterial. 
 However, the user may have recently deleted a large number of items, 
 and the warning task hasn't run since they did that deletion. 
 Normally it runs at midnight, just before online maintenance.

Re: Questions regarding SBS2003 POP 3 connector.

2008-03-04 Thread Joe Fox
Graeme:

You're in luck - I just finished setting up my POP3 connector this morning.
Is the POP3 connector set up for Global Mailbox?  If it isn't you need to
set it up for Global Mailbox and make sure that you have Exchange Mailboxes
for all the users.

Example - I have a mailbox called [EMAIL PROTECTED] at my mail host.
All undeliverable mail goes to that account.  Then the POP3 connnector
connects to that drop box, pulls in all the mail, and then looks at the To:
and CC: fields to put it in the appropriate mailboxes on the SBS server.

My problem with it not working, is that I spelled the POP3 account name
wrong! DOH!

On a similiar note - does anyone know if there is a way to change the POP3
Connector's schedule.  As it stands, the shortest time between checks is 15
minutes, and I'd like to get it down to 5 minutes between checks.  Can that
be changed in the registry maybe?

HTH.

 They currently have pop 3 of the following format [EMAIL PROTECTED], but are

 They ran the Internet wizard and setup the Exchange domain as domain.co.uk,
 with the AD domain as domain.local all well and good i hear you say.

 But of course when they configured the POP connector, it appears to
 initially have just vanished any incoming mail into thin air, and since
 yesterday after installing Exchange 2003 SP2, it now reposrts in the event
 viewer that any mail retrieved by the pop connector was not delivered to the
 mail box due to relay restrictions.

 Added domain.co.uk to the recipient policy and mail is working fine.

 The question of course is where did the mail that vanished go???

 I am not familiar with the process of the pop3 connector, mainly with how
 it handles the mail flow.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 You can go from Home Basic to Home Premium, then from Home Premium to
 Ultimate.

Did they empty their Deleted Items folder after cleaning up their 
Inbox/Mailbox?  If they didn't then they are still using the same amount of 
space, just in a different folder.

HTH.

Subject: Mailbox size discrepency

Recently I have a user who has hit his mailbox quota. He cleaned up
his Inbox/mailbox and continues to get warning messages.

We use cached mode with our Outlook clients and when I had them look
at the mailbox folder size with the Outlook properties the local copy
is 10MB samller than the server data size and I can't account for why
there should be this difference. I even had the user remove cache
mode, delete the OST and then enabled cache mode again but there still
is a 10 MB difference.

I thought the OST cached the whole mailbox local but this does not
seem to be the case.

Free/Busy Info

2008-01-15 Thread Joe Fox
I know that this should be a simple one, but I'm not an Exchange guru. L

 

I need to find out what I need to do to have our VP's Free/Busy schedule
show up for one of the Corporate Trainers.  It shows up for the VP's
Assistant, as he has shared his Calendar with her, and for any
Administrator.

 

I thought it was a matter of allowing that user to see the calendar with
restricted rights.

 

Exchange 2003, latest SP, Outlook 2000 and 2003 Clients.

 

Thanks.

Talk to your Verizon rep, I don't see them listed but I know they have
them because we have users who have them...

Well, unfortunately, the Curve is not listed on Verizon's website for BB
devices.

You're missing the curve off of your list which has a full qwerty
keyboard.  The 8830 would be my other choice.  I don't like the pearl
because it's not full qwerty...

Any BB model that people would recommend over others?  Our provider
lists the following on their site:

 

7130e

Pearl 8130

8703e

8830 World Edition

I've started a new thread, because my manager is now asking me to create
a proposal document for our Director, in order to recommend the best
solution.  I have a few specific questions that may or may not have been
covered in the last thread. 

 

 

1)   Does the BB, if I have BES installed in my server room, allow
sync of contacts/tasks/calendar etc.  Also, just to be fair and
complete, does the WM device have this capability? 

2)  Does the BB have the same ability to open the same types of
attachments as the WM device?

3)  Are there any other functionalities that one device has over the
other, from an end-user perspective, that would be something I need to
know about?

 

I'm sorry if the last question is a bit vague, but this is really my
first endeavor in these waters, and I'd just like to have as many real
world experiences as possible to draw from to make this decision.  I do
understand that it's not difficult to support both, but I just need to
make sure the endusers are going to be satisfied with the chosen
solution. 

 

Thanks,

 

Joe Heaton
