New SQL Server Install Advice
|
|
|
| I have a new Dell PowerEdge 2800 running windows 2003. I have 2 RAID
containers as the machine has a PERC 4 controller. The machine has x2 73GB
SCSI and x4 146GB SCSI HDD.
Container 1
-------------
The OS C drive (partition of 12GB) is in RAID 1 and so is E drive which has
56GB free.
Container 2
-------------
A D drive for Data I created and also L for Log which I assigned as dynamic
drives.
Is this setup Ok for running SQL2000. The Data files will reside in D and
the Log files will reside in L. Is this Ok for the read/write access that
occurs when SQL is accessed?
Please help.

| I assume there is at least one processor and some memory on the server as
well.
It will work. It depends on what performance, capacity, and availability
you are needing.

| Xeon 2.8 x2 and 2GB RAM.
We want max. performance. Is this OK?
Furthermore, I installed SQL2000 and it came with 4 CDs:
1> SQL 2000 Standard (Personal)
2> SQL 2000 Standard
3> SP4
4> Reporting Tools
I installed Disk #1, asked me no product key, I selected 5 CALS from the
dropdown (which was how many I bought) and that was it. I have the SQL
Service running and the SQL Tools (enterprise manager). What is the
difference between the 2 Cds mentioned above?
In Enterprise Manager, when I right-click the (local) Server, it says I have
Microsoft SQL Server Std Edition installed. This is very odd, I hope I have
done this right as it did not ask for a serial product key or anything.
Please verify the above it OK.
