Dell SMB Reference Configuration for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Fast Track Data Warehouse on

PowerEdge R720xd

9

Drive Slot configuration:

 Slot 0-17: Nine RAID 1 disk groups were created, each configured with a single Virtual Disk

dedicated for the primary user data.

 Slot 18-21: One RAID 10 disk group was created of four disks and a single Virtual Disk dedicated

to host the database log files.

 Slot 22-23: The remaining two disks were assigned as global hot spares.

 Slot 24-25: Rear Bay Drives, One RAID 1 disk group for operating system and stage space.

For Fast Track architectures, Dell recommends that you use mount-point rather than drive letters for

storage access. It is also very important to assign the appropriate virtual disk and mount-point names

to the configuration in order to simplify troubleshooting and performance analysis. Mount-point names

should be assigned in such a way that the logical file system reflects the underlying physical storage

enclosure mapping. Table 3 shows the virtual disk and mount-point names used for the specific

reference configuration and the appropriate storage layer mapping. All the logical volumes were

mounted to the “C:\FT” folder.
