Hello. I have SQL Server 2005 SP4 installed on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard SP2. The server has four CPU cores. The server was configured with the following drive configuration.
RAID 1 - System drive
RAID 5 - SQL MDF files
RAID 1 - SQL LDF files
There is currently one of each of the following files on the server. The MDF files are on the RAID 5 array, while the LDF files are on the RAID1 array for SQL LDF files.
TempDB.mdf ReportServerTempDB.mdf
TempLog.ldf ReportServerTempDB_log.ldf
It is my understanding that having one TempDB per core is a best practice, so I should create three more TempDB’s. Does that also apply to ReportServerTempDB? Given the drive configuration of this server, where should all of the required MDF and LDF files for the TempDB’s and ReportServerTempDB’s be located?
