Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator v18.9

Ross Smith IV anunciou no Microsoft Exchange Team Blog que a ferramenta Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator foi actualizada, agora para a versão 18.9.

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

Version 18.9 Updates

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Storage worksheet’s "RAID Storage Configuration" Table to exclude showing "Total Number of Disks Required" for designs that do not have lagged database copies and are deploying in a JBOD configuration.
• Added a notification to Role Requirements regarding scenarios that result in >2TB databases.
• Fixed an error notification to indicate when the input parameters have resulted in a design that has more HA copies than available Mailbox servers.
• Fixed the DAG LUN total space calculation to be based on the total number of database copies, not the total number of mailbox servers.
• Fixed the database copy validation formula to ensure there is at least 1 HA copy or lagged database copy in the secondary datacenter when site resilience is enabled.
• Fixed servers.csv to not add a space between the comma and drive letter.
• Fixed cells to have the correct color formatting.
• Updated BDM throughput requirements to stipulate 7.5MB/s per database as the worst case, which aligns with what can potentially be seen in Jetstress runs.
