Chapter 1 Installing OS
The paging file that exists in the first drive (in the order of drive letter C, D, E, ...)
is used as the temporary memory dump location. Therefore, the size of the
paging file must be "installed memory size + 300 MB" or more. Paging files in
dynamic volumes are not used for dumping memory. The setting is applied after
restarting the system.
Example of correct setting
C: No paging file exists
D: Paging file whose size is "installed memory size + 300 MB" or more
→
The paging file in drive D can be used for collecting memory dump
because its size satisfies the requirement.
Example of incorrect setting 1
C: Paging file whose size is smaller than the installed memory size
D: Paging file whose size is "installed memory size + 300 MB" or more
→
The paging file in drive C is used for collecting memory dump, but
collection may fail because the size of the paging file is smaller than the
installed memory size.
Example of incorrect setting 2
C: Paging file whose size is "installed memory size
×
0.5"
D: Paging file whose size is "installed memory size
×
0.5"
E: Paging file whose size is 300 MB
→
The total paging file size in all drives is "installed memory size + 300 MB",
but collection may fail because only the paging file in drive C is used for
collecting memory dump.
Example of incorrect setting 3
C: No paging file exists
D: Paging file whose size is "installed memory size + 300 MB" or more
(in dynamic volume)
→
Paging files in a dynamic volume cannot be used for collecting memory
dump. Thus, collecting memory dump fails.
