Creating Partition Size
The size for the partition that 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 + Application Size
Size necessary to install the system = 2900MB (Only Windows Server 2003)
Paging File Size (Recommended) =
Dump File Size =
Application 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 4095 MB. If the above
paging file size exceeds 4095 MB, specify 4095 MB for the paging file size.
The maximum dump file size for the system with more than 2 GB memory mounted is '2048
MB + 12 MB'.
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 512 MB, the partition size will be calculated by the above formula as follows:
2900 MB + (512 MB * 1.5) + (512 MB + 12 MB) + Application Size = 4192 MB + Application Size
Dividing the recommended storage space size over multiple disks as written below will solve the problem of the size of the
partition on a single disk .
1.
Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size" as the system partition size.
2.
Specify that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) must be written to a separate disk. See Chapter
5 for more information on the procedure.
(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 installation + Paging file size", install an additional new disk.)
Re-installing to the hard disk which has been upgraded to Dynamic Disk
You cannot re-install Windows Server 2003 with the current partition of the hard disk upgraded to Dynamic Disk kept
remained.
If you want to keep the current partition remained, see Appendix E to re-install the system.
About maintenance partition (the area displayed as "MAINTE_P")
The maintenance partition for server maintenance is reserved in the head of Hard Disk Drive (a partition of approximately
55 MB). This area is for saving some maintenance utilities. Do not delete the maintenance partition.
