Creating Partition Size
For Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions:
The system partition size can be calculated from the following formula:
Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size
Size necessary to install the system = 4100MB
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size * 1.5
Dump file Size
Application Size
IMPORTANT:
The above paging file size is necessary for collecting the debug
information (memory dump). If a value smaller than the
"Recommended" one is set for the initial size of the paging file, the
correct debug information (memory dump) may not be collected.
Regardless of the size of the mounted memory or the Write
debugging information (type of memory dump), the maximum size
of the dump file is 'The size of the mounted memory + 1MB.'
If you need to install other applications, add the hard disk space
required for those applications.
For example, if the mounted memory size is 512MB, the partition size calculated by the
above formula is as follows:
4100MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 1MB) + Application Size
= 5381MB + Application Size
If the recommended partition size of a system as described in the formula above exceeds the
capacity of the hard disk drive, the paging file size of the partition can be stored on a separate disk.
1.
Calculate the "Size required for installation + Paging file size" with the formula described
above.
2.
See Chapter 5 to set debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) to be written
to a separate disk.
If the disk does not have enough free space for the dump file size to be written, install an
additional disk.
