7º Aniversário do “subject: exchange”

Parece que foi ontem que coloquei aqui neste blog o meu primeiro post. Foi não só o primeiro post deste blog, mas também a minha estreia nestas andanças da blogosfera e o mundo das comunidades e redes sociais.

Durante estes 7 anos o blog tem evoluído, a frequência dos posts anda ao sabor da minha disponibilidade, que nem sempre é a que gostaria de ter.

Do meu lado, a experiência tem sido francamente boa, espero ficar por cá muito mais tempo ;-)

Boas leituras!

Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator v17.8

Ross Smith IV anunciou no Microsoft Exchange Team Blog que a ferramenta Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator foi actualizada, agora para a versão 17.8.

De acordo com a página de registo de actualizações, estas são as principais novidades:

Version 17.8 Updates

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the “Recommended databases per DAG” calculation formula to take into account symmetrical design multiples when the “Calculated Number of Databases for Symmetrical Distribution” is greater than the maximum of databases that can be deployed within the DAG.
• Fixed the validation check for when you select more database copies than available servers. As a result, when this scenario is presented, the calculator will no longer provide results.
• Fixed "Calculated Number of Supported Databases / DAG" formula to round down to nearest whole number.
• Fixed distribution calculation to allow more copies and servers.
• Fixed "RAID Storage Architecture / SDC Server" to show the optimal RAID configuration for the SDC servers as opposed to the PDC servers.
• Fixed formula issue for number of databases in the environment for standalone scenarios.

Enhancements

• Added RAID-6 types 4+2 and 8+2.
• Added 10, 20, and 40 processor core options.
• Added 3TB disk capacity.
• Script changes:
  • Removed option to remove first database
  • Revised Diskpart script to format using 64K unit size
