Hi Guys,
I am hoping someone can help me out here.
I have an old Exchange 2003 setup running on a FAS2020, and there's a daily scheduled Exchange policy task that performs a "online defrag" of our databases.
I assume this is a very bad idea and therefore i have done the right thing in disabling it?
And is it normal that an Exchange 2003 defrag (all SGs are <100Gb) causes such a performance hit on the filer?
The FAS2020s are not very powerful, and I was going crazy trying to find out what process was sucking IOPs from the FAS during the evenings - and it seems that this is the culprit.
Anyone had similar issues or know if I've done the right thing here?
Cheers,
Marc
