Both 8 and 12 Gig Stink because my Ops Guys Keep putting stuff on it and 12 Gigs fills up Fast on Win 2003 and Up...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 6:36 AM, Miller, Steve <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:MillerS@dicksteinshapiro.com">MillerS@dicksteinshapiro.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Thanks again for your help! Taking a slightly different<br>
approach....what is the recommended C drive and D drive size when you<br>
are building a new Unity server? We have a data center that we are<br>
planning and I'm wondering if a 12 gig C drive is adequate to take us<br>
from Unity 4.2.1 all the way to Unity 7. Is there a limit to how big<br>
the C drive should be? What if we have a 1000 gig hard drive and<br>
partition that into a 100 gig C drive, a 200 gig D drive and then carve<br>
out a third segment ("F") for undefined purposes? Will the C drive OS<br>
functionality be improved or diminished by the larger size?<br>

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