I have seen the best practices document (http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OriondbBestPractices.pdf) and would love to follow it. The problem is I am limited to a single server with 16, 136 GB 15K drives in it. There is no budget for additional hardware. What would be the best way to configure this specific DB server?
I can attach to SAN for backup, but given write load of Orion, I am thinking that going across iSCSI for any logs or DBs may not be a good idea.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
