Re: SQL Server Installation - System Database directory

Hi Pedro,

   The IO workload on default data directory

1. Shared Features
2. Default Instance
3. Data directories

is so small. Personally, I will put all data in C:\ just because it is easier to use. When you install SAP on SQL using SWPM later, you have to distribute the most important database files to each LUN.

ex:

<SID>Data 1~4: LUN 1

<SID>Data 13~16: LUN 4

TempDBF 1: LUN 1

TempDBF 4: LUN 4

<SID>Log 1: LUN 5

TempLog 1: LUN 5

see Juergen's best practice doc here. ( http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65?overridelayout=true )
