Dell Quickstart Data Warehouse Appliance 1000
Page 8
For each internal storage array:
• Nine RAID 1 disk groups were created, with each consisting of two disks. These RAID groups
were dedicated for the primary user data.
• One RAID 10 disk group was created with four disks. This RAID group was dedicated to host
database transaction log files.
• One RAID 1 disk group was created with two disks dedicated to the appliance operating system.
• Two disks were assigned as the global hot spares.
Dell used mount points rather than drive letters for storage access. Virtual disks and mount points were
assigned using the same naming convention to simplify troubleshooting and performance analysis. All
logical volumes were mounted to the “C:\FT” folder.
