5.1.2 How to Obtain Memory Dump for Windows 2000 Server

Check the following settings before starting configuration to obtain memory dump.
Checking Hard Disk Free Space
Once memory dump is obtained, a file containing contents of the whole physical memory installed in the
system is created. Before storing the dump file, confirm that there is sufficient free space in the hard
disk.
The obtainable dump types and required hard disk capacity are as follows:
Complete Memory (Full) Dump
When the system unexpectedly stops, contents of the whole system memory are recorded. If this option
is selected, space to retain the paging file as large as the whole physical memory × 1.3 is required in the
boot volume.
• Included information
Common header, all virtual address pages that are not paged out during STOP
• Required size
Installed physical memory × 1.3
142
When a smaller value is specified for the paging file size, performance may be affected. For
maximum system efficiency, be sure to set [Initial size] with a value larger than the [Recom-
mended] size described in [Total paging file size for all drives]. The recommended size is total
memory installed in the system x 1.5. However, if a program consuming a large amount of
memory is regularly used, set a larger size as required.
