Chapter 2 Preparing for the Installation

Determining the Locations for Files on the Cisco Unity Server

Determining the Locations for Files on the Cisco Unity Server

The platform overlay and RAID configuration of the Cisco Unity server determines the choices you make later in the Cisco Unity installation guide, including:

How you manually configure partitions if you are installing Windows using a retail Windows disc. (If you install Windows using the Cisco Unity Platform Configuration discs, partitions are configured automatically.)

Where you choose to install applications, logs, and database files.

Using the applicable section, make note of the locations for files on the Cisco Unity server that you are installing:

Locations for Files on a Platform Overlay 1 or Overlay 2 Server, page 2-4

Locations for Files on a Platform Overlay 3 Server, page 2-5

Following these recommendations will:

Maximize performance, data integrity, and reliability for Cisco Unity, and SQL Server or MSDE transaction logs.

Maximize performance, data storage, and access capacity for Cisco Unity data.

For information on the platform overlay, RAID configuration, maximum number of Cisco Unity subscribers, and other specifications for the server on which you are installing Cisco Unity, refer to the Cisco Unity Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_data_sheets_list.html.

The Cisco Unity installation guide alerts you when to refer to the file locations later in the installation process.
