Current branch setup

[Munzi]

Hi

 

im setting up a new migrated environment from 2012r2 that has a CAS and 2 primaries my plan is to have the new hierarchy with only one primary . On the primary server is it ok to have SQL Server , reporting , app catalog and sup on it? With the Managemnet point and DP separated on another server? Also 6 other DP's and fallback  throughout the environment , I have about 3000 clients 

 

im very new to sccm so any help is greatly appreciated

Why spin out the MP? I'd put it all on the same server and keep the DP "local" to the clients (on the same LAN, if possible). 3,000 clients is well within the capabilities of a single Primary, assuming you've specified your Primary hardware correctly.

why have a CAS and two primary sites?

The old admin setup the current structure. I want to migrate to a new single primary. As I am very new to this I wanted to simplify as I didnt see the need for a CAS. The pro9mary server will be set with 

 

2 arrays.  1 made out of the 2 SSDs support a 60 GB C: drive (OS) and a 10 GB D: drive (PageFile).  The other array would be a RAID 50 for the SAS HDDs.  This will mean approximately 4.8 TBs of useable space for an E: drive (for the SCCM application and SQL) about 1 TB and the remaining 3.8 TBs for the software share/update repository/etc.With 128 GB of memory

60 GB for C:\ is a bit small IMO. I use a minimum of 127 GB.

10 GB for the Page is tiny! With 128 Ram I would use a minimum of 350 GB for the Swap file.

4.8 TB is not a lot of space these days. Instead of doing RAID 50, I would be more inclined to do RAID 5 or maybe RAID6.  If you are going to stay with RAID 50 then get bigger drivers.

Thank you Garth. I will explain this to the Server admins who built it
