[cisco-voip] De-Frag on Call Managers and Unity?

[Miller, Steve]

I have a primary and a failover in one location.  Should I assume that
it's OK to run one server while I defrag the other or should they both
be shut down?

I have seen a few places where the HD was highly fragmented it caused
problems, and defragging fixed things up.

I just ran into one 2-3 weeks ago where Unity would not start up on a
reboot. The drive was 50% fragmented. Had to run defrag a few times
(took a whole day almost) and since then when they reboot they have
not had problems.
