Hello, i'm trying to install SQL server 2012 "manually", and i just can't find information on best practices for System Database directory and other paths that installation requires.
My question is -> what is the best practice for separating the following components for different disks:
- Shared Features
- Default Instance
- Data directories
- For shared features i guess that it shouldn't be that important. I'm thinking joining them with Database Instance. Is there any performance issues for shared features?
- For Default Instance i was going for a dedicated disk, different from OS disk (and maybe joining Shared Features too). Is there any performance issues for separating Default Instance? I see DBAs do this a lot, but i don't know if it's performance related or just management and binaries "protection".
- Data Directories creates the system database. I know that during SAP installation one can (and should) move tempdb to other location. Even if we know we are moving tempdb later in time, there is always master/model etc. Should i install Data Directories in a dedicated disk for performance reasons, or should i install together with Default instance?
