[cisco-voip] Anything "Magic" About 8 Gig Partitions on Unity Servers?

[Pat Hayes]

It is certainly best practice to match hardware and drive config (and
really, everything) between failover servers. In terms of 'what will
work', you could probably get away with having a different underlying
physical disk config, so long as you had similar partitions (drive
letters and sizes) setup and you installed everything to matching
drives/paths on each server, but it certainly isn't recommended and
might get you in some hot water with TAC down the line.
