MO Device
If you specify the file system as NTFS with a MO Device connected during the installation, the file system will not be
converted normally. Disconnect the MO Device and restart the installation from the beginning.
Media such as DAT
During the OS installation, do not attach any unnecessary media to the system, such as a DAT.
About the Upgrade to Windows Server 2003 R2
The "in-place upgrade" from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2003 R2 is not recommended because it may
overwrite any files or registries, and cause unexpected impact to the system or the applications.
If you install Windows Server 2003 R2, backup user data referring "Windows Server 2003 Clean Installation", and
reinstall Windows Server 2003 R2.
NOTE:
"in-place upgrade" is to perform overwrite upgrade from Windows Server 2003
which already installed to Windows Server 2003 R2.
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 = 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2)
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.
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
'2048MB + 12MB'.
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:
3500MB + (512MB * 1.5) + (512MB + 12MB) + Application Size
= 4792MB + 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.
+ Application Size
= 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack1)
= 3500MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 with Service Pack2)
= 5300MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 + ServicePack 2 CD-ROM)
= Mounted Memory Size + 12MB
= Required Size
