    All models of the ML350 G5 come with six SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) and are configured for hardware RAID 5 using the HP Smart Array E200i drive controllers. The HDDs are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable, meaning the drives can be removed and installed with the power on, and the controller determines whether a rebuild of the drive is necessary.

    The largest disk that Windows Storage Server 2003 can accommodate from a storage system is 2 TB. • HP does not recommend spanning array controllers with dynamic volumes. • Use meaningful volume labels with the intended drive letter embedded in the volume label, if possible.

  • Page 48: Scheduling Defragmentation

    Only basic disks can be formatted as FAT or FAT32. Scheduling defragmentation The following information applies to all models of the HP ProLiant storage server. Defragmentation is the process of analyzing local volumes and consolidating fragmented files and folders so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume. This improves file system performance.

    If you choose host presentation during virtual disk creation, the management agent cannot complete any other task until that virtual disk is created and presented. Therefore, HP recommends that you wait until a virtual disk is created before presenting it to a host.

  • Page 53: Shadow Copy Planning

    100 files that only change monthly require less storage space than 10 files that change daily. If the frequency of changes to each file is greater than the amount of space allocated to storing shadow copies, no shadow copy is created. HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Storage Server...

  • Page 54: Identifying The Storage Area

    Administrators should also consider user expectations of how many versions they will want to have available. End users might expect only a single shadow copy to be available, or they might expect three days or three weeks worth of shadow copies. The more shadow copies users expect, the more storage space administrators must allocate for storing them.

  • Page 55: Determining Creation Frequency

  • Page 70: Share Considerations

    Share considerations Planning the content, size, and distribution of shares on the storage server can improve performance, manageability, and ease of use. The content of shares should be carefully chosen to avoid two common pitfalls: either having too many shares of a very specific nature, or of having very few shares of a generic nature. For example, shares for general use are easier to set up in the beginning, but can cause problems later.

    It is very important to understand the differences between the load-balancing methods when deploying HP ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming in an environment that requires load balancing of routed Layer 3 traffic. Because the methods use conversations to load balance, the resulting traffic may not be distributed equally across all ports in the team.
