Hi all-

 

We are setting up a new dedicated Vault server to run version 2.  It's
running Win 2003 and Sql 2000 SP3a.  I have 2 questions on performance
settings.

 

1st, the box will be running both the Vault service and the Vault database.
The box has 2 gb of ram.  Does anyone recommend restricting the max memory
available to Sql Server so that the system and the Vault web site have
memory reserved for them?  If so, restricting sql max mem to what?

 

2nd, how much use does Vault make of tempdb?  Is there any benefit to trying
to isolate tempdb on its own drive?  The Vault db itself already will have
its own dedicated transaction log drive.  If I do not isolate tempdb, it
will live on the same drive as the Vault mdf data file.  The transaction log
drive is RAID 10, the data drive is RAID 5.

 

Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions!
