B-6 Installing the Operating System
When the system is Windows Server 2003:
The size for the partition that the system is to be installed can be calculated from the following
formula.
Size necessary to install the Paging File Size + Dump File Size
+ Application Size
Size necessary to install the system = 3500MB
= 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 with Service
Pack2)
= 5300MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 + Service
Pack2 CD-ROM)
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5
Dump file Size
= Mounted Memory Size + 1MB
Application Size = Required Size
IMPORTANT:
„
The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting
debug information (memory dump). The paging file with initial size
large enough to store the dump file in the boot drive is required.
Correct debug information might not be able to be collected due to
virtual memory shortage when the paging file is insufficient, so set
an enough size of the paging file with the entire system.
„
The maximum paging file size which can be set on one partition is
4095MB. If the above paging file size exceeds 4095MB, specify
4095MB for the paging file size.
„
The maximum dump file size for the system with more than 2GB
memory mounted is ' 12MB'.
„
If you install any application program or the like, add necessary
space to the partition to install these programs.
For example, if the mounted memory size is 512MB, the partition size will be calculated
by the above formula as follows:
(512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) + Application Size
= Application Size
Dividing into the partition of the recommended size into multiple disks as written below will solve
problem that it cannot be reserved in one disk.
1.
Set the "Size required for instal Paging file size".
2.
See Chapter 5 and set that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) is to
be written to a separate disk.
(If the disk does not have enough free space to enable the dump file size to be written,
then after installing the system using the "Size required for instal Paging file size",
install an additional new disk.)
