Overview

The operating system is installed on the C drive.

 

We recommend to create 2 additional partitions:

•D with name DataIIS, that will contain SQL Server data files, IIS and FTP root directory;

•F with name Logs, that will contain logs files.

 

You will probably have to change the CD-ROM letter…

This partition scheme is mandatory in the case of using redundant TSS by using SteelEye.

 

To Create the partitioning table

Proceed as follows:

 

partition_001

 

•Click "Computer Management (Local) > Storage > Disk Management".

•Right-click on "CD-ROM0", and select Change drive letter and paths.

 

partition_002

 

•Change the drive letter to E and press "OK" to close the window;

•In the unallocated space of your disk, create a new Extended Partition

•In this Extended Partition, create 2 new Logical Drives :
