Diskspace in SCCM2007/2012

[Kingskawn]

As many here are asking deployments for software and OS the diskspace on servers are almost insuffisant. How do you remedy to that?

Our primary site has 300gb of data and there is 20gb left. For example 1 OS (W7 ENT) is taking 3gb and 3gb chopped in D:\SMSPKG (.pkg & .dlt) so everything is doubled.

 

For our migration to 2012 how do you manage this? We do have a monitoring on this diskspace problem but in the end I need to make some room which isn't a solution.

Hi,

In SCCM 2012 the content is handled differently, so you shold not see that much disk space beeing consumed, if you don't use a package share the file will only be stored once.

For your migration to sccm 2012 I assume you have the package source files located on a separate server so the only thing you need to be thinking about is the disk space needed for you new server, do you have the DP offloaded from the Primay site?

Just make sure you have enough disk space on the disk where you install configuration manager 2012, as you will get the conentlib there as well.

For the primary I also plan to create a separated server or use an existing file server to store all the source files (office, adobe,...). On 2007 our source files are on the primary server so nothing is offloaded from the dp yet. We will paste all to the new location when 2012 is installed and will do a side by side migration.

As for the contect library, it seems that the file lib will be the biggest but I don't know if it will copy everything from the DP source location so I will have a 1:1 copy???
