Good Morning,
To make a long story short. We contracted with a third party vendor to do
our disk configuration and upgrade from Unix 3.2 to 4.0.
I am not happy with how the disks were configured and after having a
seasoned Digital Tech here yesterday who confirmed my concern, I'm asking
that you take a few minutes to review what I have and tell me if you agree
that this should be a concern.
I have two 3 port RAID Controllers.
Left side first set original
8- 2.0GB 3.5" Disk Drives connected to a 3 port RAID EISA
controller.
Right side second set
8- 4.3GB Narrow Disk Drives connected to a second 3 port Raid PCI
controller.
This is how they're configured.
First set drb0 = 14.049 total disk set.
Second set dra0-3 1498MB, 595MB, 13244MB, 13300MB.
Does this second set in your opinion defeat the whole purpose of a RAID.
What is your opinion of the effect on system response with this
configuration.
What I asked for was to double the old spool area from the original size and
partition it out separate.
Also I am running Datatel's education system on top of Unidata, so I have a
rather huge database.
We just added a second CPU and two 128 MB memory modules to help with
response time.
Thanks
Doreen
