  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    8KB random read and write - 90% read, 10% write ratio

    TOT IO/sec: 2245.5

    Total MB/sec: 17.6

    Average IO Response Time: 7.22

    MAX IO Response 153.3

    CPU: 30.9

    64KB sequential read and write - 90% read,...

    Despite the advances in RAID5 i would expect a well defined RAID10 array to have superior write performance. I'm sure others will jump in here.

    You've mentioned this before...

  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    Again as mentioned above this storage array will only be used for data and index files (NO log or tempdb files)

  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    Sorry, I did mean SQLIO - but for these tests I am only using IOMeter.

    Results below for RAID 5

    MAX IOPS - uses 4KB transfer request size, 100% reads, 100% sequential...

  • RE: have a job step execute a job on another server

    Well this depends...Can you use a linked server? If so, it's quite simple

    EXECUTE [YOURSERVER].msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'TESTJOB'

  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    Running some tests using IOMeter (preferred the GUI to this one over SQLIOsim) and using some of the predefined options here's the results:

    ON a 12-disk, RAID 5, 1 hot-swappable spare,...

  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    Yes, this is the option I am going with first (lumping all disks into a single RAID 5 array). I believe keeping one as a hot spare leaves me...

  • RE: Why does this query use up 70G in tempdb

    Another quick note on what Charles has offered:

    Depending on how many rows these "mini" queries will yield and if you have a beefy server with ample RAM, consider using parameter...

  • RE: Why does this query use up 70G in tempdb

    Please supply the execution plan for this exact query

    "I know this is a bad query but I don't know why"

    Press Ctrl-"M" before running the query, then when it completes you...

  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    I spoke with our Tech Services guy and he said there'd be no issue using a RAID5 with 12 disks, it would give us ample space and yield 11 available...

  • RE: What would be the best RAID configuration for this hardware?

    That should work.

    Was thinking to place the 12-disks into one large RAID 5 (so that should leave me with 11 spindles) - I will place Data files and Index files...

    Reading a couple of chapters from the link you posted pretty much narrows things down to a RAID5 or 10 (which is pretty much were I got...

  • RE: Question about replication

    Just out of curiosity, how much data is being replicated? Please describe your architecture...for instance, how many articles are in the publication? When you created your publication, what options did...

  • RE: rebuild on clustered index

    muthyala_51 (11/9/2012)


    Don't you think as million of rows are getting inserted and deleted daily can cause high fragmentation which causes the database size to grow. When rebuilt the fragmented space...
