About the System Partition Size
The size for the partition on which the system is to be installed 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 (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions)
Paging File Size (Recommended) = Mounted Memory Size × 1.5
Dump file Size
Application Size
IMPORTANT:
The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug information
(memory dump). A paging file with an 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 a virtual memory
shortage if the paging file is insufficient, so set a paging file size large enough for the
entire system.
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 any additional software applications, 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:
4100MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 1MB) + Application Size
= 5381MB + Application Size
If the required partition size is larger than the size of a hard disk drive, we recommend
you split the file across several disks.
1. Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size".
Set the debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) so that it is written to a
2.
separate disk. (If necessary, install an additional new disk.)
+ Application Size
= 4100MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions with Service Pack2)
= 5900MB (Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions + Service Pack 2
CD-ROM)
= Mounted Memory Size + 1MB
= Required Size
