I expect that. My goal with this chapter is to merely provide information for lessexperienced
DBAs to help them become conversant on the topics in this chapter when
dealing with the appropriate experts in their organizations. What I present in this chapter
is very much my interpretation, my viewpoint, and my recommendations (if you??™ve read
this far into the book, you already know that).
So what makes hardware issues so important that they warrant their own chapter in
a book about SQL Server disaster recovery? For me, the answer is simple: hardware issues
tend to be random in nature, while software issues tend to have detectable patterns. This
isn??™t always the case, but I think everyone out there would say that hardware issues can
be very difficult to troubleshoot. To exclude some sort of discussion of hardware in a
book regarding disaster recovery would be almost negligent.
For each topic, I will present the technical details I believe to be crucial to becoming
conversant on the topic, and I??™ll list issues related to disaster recovery that I??™ve
experienced.
Online Disk Storage
If there is any single type of hardware that a DBA must understand, it is hard disk storage.
