"new " server build

Hi all!

I'm after some recommendations on how to setup my server for an orion eval install (plus all the addin components IPAM,VoIP NTA, NCM). The server is a dell Poweredge 2850 with 4 3.0ghz processors and 4gb of ram but only 2 70gb harddrives.

I don't intend to monitor too many items as i only have this server to play with. Normally we would mirror the drives, but due to this server being a test server only i'm not to worried about running a stripped drive setup or just two flat disks. I'm looking to get them most perfromance i can from this setup as our current 9.1 SLX install has out grown it's current server and we need to eval this as a replacement.

Thanks in advance

Dan

Are you running SQL on the same server or a different one?

As I only have this server available to me at the moment it will be on this one. Not ideal I know, but it is just to eval 9.5.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
