Storage Volumes

Good day everyone,

my company just bought Dell Powerstore 500T with only 17 hard drives and 2 Nodes.

Can anybody please guide me to how to create Volume for Exchange Servers?

Only one volume is enough to keep all Exchange Servers inside or these should be different. Like different volume for Exchange DB, OS and Logs

Any comments or advise shall be highly appreciated.

We are not that much big environment but i need to create Volume in proper way.

Thanks

Do you having a Hypervisor on top like vSphere ESXi/Hyper-V or do we speak about phys. Exchange server?

Because its true for the most of the pyhs. SAN systems exists today.... a LUN is always assign to a Controller(Node) which do the processing. If you create only one large Lun/Volume than only one node does something. Also... if a filesystem took damage.. you can loose everthing.  Dont put all eggs into one basket.
