We configured the internal drives in two RAID 1 volumes, with two disks per volume. The MSA30 contained 14

146GB 10,000 RPM drives. We configured MSA30 in a RAID 10 array for all 14 drives, resulting in approximately

a 1TB drive at the operating system level.

We installed Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2005 software on the first mirrored

internal volume, configured the SQL Server transaction logs on the second internal volume, and placed the SQL

Server database data on the MSA30 volume.

Setting up the external storage

We configured the MSA30 storage via the HP Array Configuration Utility after installing the operating system. See
