Folks,
we are trying to setup replication using the EMC component SRDF. EMC have recommended that we create the system dbs i.e. master, model, msdb and tempdb on a local disk or a non-replicated SAN disk and the app databases on SAN disks (which will be replicated). Doing it this way, I am concerned about adding logins/users on the primary database. The users will be replicated across but the logins won't and therefore will have to be added manually on the failover server (on the odd occasion that it's brought up!) and resynced. Are there other scenarios that I should be concerned with?
Thanks
Sandra

You would also lose your jobs and DTS packages if you don't have the msdb database backed up. I would have a process in place to migrate any new logins using the sp_help_revlogin script. The msdb database should be replicated though.
