Checking Hard Disk Free Space
Once memory dump is obtained, a file containing contents of the whole physical memory installed in the
system is created. Before storing the dump file, confirm that there is sufficient free space in the hard
disk.
The obtainable dump types and required hard disk capacity are as follows:
●
Complete Memory (Full) Dump (recommended)
When the system unexpectedly stops, contents of the whole system memory are recorded. If this option
is selected, space to retain the paging file as large as the whole physical memory
×
1.3 is required in the
boot volume.
• Included information
Common header, all virtual address pages that are not paged out during STOP
• Required size
Installed physical memory
×
1.3
Complete memory dump cannot be used on the computer in which the 2GB or more RAM is installed.
●
Kernel Memory Dump
Information of only kernel memory space is recorded. When the system unexpectedly stops, the process
that records information to the log file is speeded up. According to the amount of memory installed in
the server, available area of 50 to 800MB is required for the paging file in the boot volume.
• Included information
Common header, summary dump header (complete memory dump) - (user process space page) -

●
Small Memory Dump
Minimum amount of useful information for problem identification is recorded. In this option, a paging
file of at least 2MB is required in the boot volume. Also, a new file is created each time the system
unexpectedly stops.
History of such files is stored in the directory displayed in [Small dump directory] (usually,
C:\winnt\minidump).
