I said very clearly that SANs can be made to work, but only if the IT department has a good understanding of exactly how Navision Works. How SQl works, and how SANs work. My issue with SANs, is that I often see that the IT department builds a SAN puts in a nice RAID 10 array for the DB and a nice RAID...

I have been running a solution with 30 countries on SQL2000 and database (2 db's for timezone maintenance) on SAN with raid 1. I (and my users) have not had any issues with performance. So what should be the problems ?? (I have been told for different types of SAN raid 1 or 10 could actually be the...

Hi Many thanks for the response. Here is some data that you asked...if u need further clarifications, pls let me know Q. I need to know how many concurrent users are there? 90 Logins on an Avg....though the database is serializabily accessable (means no two users can modify a particular table...this...

Hi! Here some advice: First, a database server should always be a dedicated server - no TS or Citrix or PrintServer running there ... You should use two CPU: The NAVISION server can only use one, but normally the OS is handling the network traffic with the last CPU in the system. Means, the first CPU...

Hi, I have to change the hardware of my navision Server (2.60, DBMS,15 users) and I wold like to which is the better hardware configuration to have a good performance. The same machine will run terminal server or cytrix and will act as a print/file server. I will use a windows server 2003 standard edition...

Hi David, Thanks for you reply, and to everyone else who replied. Can you please expand on your comment about SANs and why you don't recommend them. Why will RAID5 corrupt the database? Currently the database is on the SAN, is it still exposed to corruption? Thanks O'Neill3

Oniell3,you really need to get off RAID5, it is just too slow, and there is a high chance of you corrupting the database. SANs can work, (though I really don't want to recommend them), but you MUST have RAID 1 if you want any chance of speed. PS I have posted a LOT of threads on this topic, just...

We recently moved our DB from a RAID5 Array to a RAID1 Array (thanks to suggestions from others on this list) and the performance difference has been dramatically better. quote: Originally posted by oneill3 Hi All, I have a windows 200 server running navision. 2gb of memory xeon cpu raid 5 The database...

Update. I did some testing creating 250MB files on both the RAID5 & RAID1 arrays and the file create process was about 3 - 3.5 times faster on the RAID1 Array (10 seconds compared to 35 seconds). I've moved the DB to a RAID1 Array and it seems to be behaving nicely. Thanks for the help. quote...

Someone from MSFT gave me this advice, and told me to see an attached document, but none was included. Can someone translate what she's talking about? ******************* The problem is likely to be in the Navision C/AL code (codeunits 12, 80 or 90). You need to know if the standard posting process...
