I've got a Sun storedge 3300 RAID that has a Solaris 8/Veritas 4.0 RAID
0+1 filesystem on it. Currently we have the RAID populates with 7 disks
(3 striped w/ parity on one side > mirrored to 3 striped disks w/ parity
on the other side with 1 logging/spare disk). We have purchased 5 more
disks to full populate the RAID (2 for each side of the mirror and 1
more logging/spare disk). I'm familiar w/ the Storedge D1000 RAID but I
don't know that much about the 3300. Are there any gotchas I should be
careful of while performing this upgrade? For instance, will the
Storedge automatically see the new drives or will I need to manually add
the LUNs etc.?
Re: DC RAID Configuration ... If the machine has 6 spindles then OS/Logs go on a hardware mirror, if 10 then they go on a 4 disk hardware based 0+1 RAID.... Their DIT is only in the teens in size so the disks themselves could be small, you just need many to get the high IOPS that make AD really run smoothly. ... 30 DCs with 2500 users total, unless the environment had a lot of very heavy use AD apps I would likely be ok for even a single mirror for those DCs. ...
