I am confused about DFS Layout and looking for some help.
Let me try and explain. We have been a Novell Shop but are
Converting to AD. We two domains that are in a trust. The Domain
I am working with for DFS is our main production Domain. We will
Have several sites to work with HEADQUARTER, OFFSITE DATACENTER,
And EIGHT REGIONAL Servers. We have 1 physical Dell 2950 DC (PDC) and 1 VM
DC at out HQ site. At the DC we have 1 Physical Dell 2950 DC (BDC). And the 8
Regional servers will all be DC’s as well. I want the users to be able to
connect if the line
To Datacenters is down and be able to get there files through DFS.
This what we were thinking
Option 1
DFS1 Server with (Targets for Global, Apps, Home, Dept, Images) VM at HQ
DFS2 Server with (Targets for Global, Apps, Home, Dept, Images) VM at HQ
DFSPHY Server with (Targets for Global, Apps, Home, Dept, Images) Phy at HQ
DFSDC Server with (Targets for Global, Apps, Home, Dept, Images) VM at DC
DFS3 Server with (Targets for the 8 Regional Servers) VM at HQ
Each of the 8 Regional servers would have its on data stored locally.
Option 2
DFS1 Server with (Targets for Apps, Dept) VM at HQ
DFS2 Server with (Targets for Global, Home, Images) VM at HQ
DFSPHY Server with (Targets for Global, Apps, Home, Dept, Images) Phy at HQ
DFSDC Server with (Targets for Global, Apps, Home, Dept, Images) VM at DC
DFS3 Server with (Targets for the 8 Regional Servers) VM at HQ
Each of the 8 Regional servers would have its on data stored locally.
One of the guys here wanted to split the load for better load balancing
(Option 2). The
Option 1 uses more disk space but maybe easier to manage and have better
fault tolerance.
Thanks for you help.
