SQL Server Ver. 2008 R2 build 10.50.4033
Running on Dell Power Edge 510
Server OS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1
64gb 8 x 8gb memory
Drive Config
Internal Drives
Raid Controller PERC H700
OS C: 2 600gb 10K SAS Raid 1
External Hot Swap Drives
12 600gb 15K SAS
Data Drive D: Raid 10 @ 1.2TB
Log Drive L: Raid 10 @ 1.2TB
TempDB Drive T: Raid 10 @ 1.2TB
We purchased a Dell MD 1200
Loaded with 12 600gb 15K SAS drives and connected via a PERC H800
So, my question is in 2 parts. What would be the most efficient way to configure the Drives available for best performance so that I can get the most drive space available to the database?
Second is what is the best way to do the switchover?
Thank you so much for any help/advice/redirection to research possible.
