I have the following setup for a 5 server DAG setup and would like to know the recommended setup for high availability for all user databases. I would like the databases copied to several DAG members servers, but am unsure as to how i should stagger the database replication. Please see the drive sizes below and send me feedback/recommendations.
Each of my DAG member servers (mailbox servers) has the following storage space available:
C:\60GB(O/S), D:\1TB(Mailboxes), E:\1TB(Mailboxes) F:\(logs)
How many databases should i create to maximize efficiency and give best user performance/experience?
To how many DAG member servers should i copy the database in order to achieve a reasonable amount of High Availability?
Again, I have 1500 users and 2TB per server to accommodate mailbox databases. Users average 500MB mailbox quotas.
Can i create the DAG replicas on the second drive (E:\) or should i just use both terabyte volumes exclusively for users mailboxes?
