Re: Disck write latency > 50ms



RAID5 probably isn't the best answer. Are you using MOM to monitor this
server? Is it actually causing a problem to the users? In a nutshell, you
should look to size your server correctly regarding disk IOPS. There are a
number of articles on doing this, such as those by Rui Silva at
msexchange.org, or Microsoft's own paper called something like Optimizing
Storage for Exchange 2003.

What can we do about disk latency that goes over 5ms at various time of
the
day?

We have an Exchange 2030 Ent server (400 users), 2 DB's 80gb and 10GB.

The high latency is on our F drive, he is our setup:

c: OS, Exchange program, paging file (RAID 1 channel 0)
e: Transaction logs (RAID 1 channel 1)
f: Databases (RAID 5 on a separate RAID card)

Usually the server runs below 20ms on the Avg. Disk sec/write what we hit
50ms at stages throughout the day, especially first thing when everyone
logs
in.
