Munzi Posted December 10, 2017 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 Hi im setting up a new migrated environment from 2012r2 that has a CAS and 2 primaries my plan is to have the new hierarchy with only one primary . On the primary server is it ok to have SQL Server , reporting , app catalog and sup on it? With the Managemnet point and DP separated on another server? Also 6 other DP's and fallback throughout the environment , I have about 3000 clients im very new to sccm so any help is greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simulacra75 Posted December 15, 2017 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 Why spin out the MP? I'd put it all on the same server and keep the DP "local" to the clients (on the same LAN, if possible). 3,000 clients is well within the capabilities of a single Primary, assuming you've specified your Primary hardware correctly.

Munzi Posted December 17, 2017 Report post Posted December 17, 2017 The old admin setup the current structure. I want to migrate to a new single primary. As I am very new to this I wanted to simplify as I didnt see the need for a CAS. The pro9mary server will be set with 2 arrays. 1 made out of the 2 SSDs support a 60 GB C: drive (OS) and a 10 GB D: drive (PageFile). The other array would be a RAID 50 for the SAS HDDs. This will mean approximately 4.8 TBs of useable space for an E: drive (for the SCCM application and SQL) about 1 TB and the remaining 3.8 TBs for the software share/update repository/etc.With 128 GB of memory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarthMJ Posted December 17, 2017 Report post Posted December 17, 2017 60 GB for C:\ is a bit small IMO. I use a minimum of 127 GB. 10 GB for the Page is tiny! With 128 Ram I would use a minimum of 350 GB for the Swap file. 4.8 TB is not a lot of space these days. Instead of doing RAID 50, I would be more inclined to do RAID 5 or maybe RAID6. If you are going to stay with RAID 50 then get bigger drivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
