Support information about defining the local address of a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or SharePoint Server 2007 content index to be on a System Area Network device

INTRODUCTION

This article contains support information about defining the local address of a Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 content index to be on a System Area Network (SAN) device. This configuration is a supported configuration.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft has verified that defining the local address of a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or SharePoint Server 2007 content index to be on a System Area Network (SAN) device is a supported configuration. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and SharePoint Server 2007 function the same whether the indexes are on a physical drive or on a SAN device. Storing the indexes on a SAN drive provides the same level of reliability as using the SAN drive itself.

Microsoft does not support storing the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or SharePoint Server 2007 indexes on a network-attached storage device.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
