Hi,
I just got new server which I'm going to use for Microsoft Team
Foundation Server.
the first one is for the Application server and the Other is for the
Data server.
each server have 6 HD.
I'm trying to figure which RAID to use on each server.
I think that the Data server with the SQL is more obvious, I made Raid
1 from 2 HD for the system partition and raid 5 from 4 HD's for all
the SQL data.
I Don't know which array configuration I should do on the Application
Server.

In addition, is it possible to change the array configuration after
the OS installation?

thanks.
.
