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
Size necessary to install the system = 1000MB
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). 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 4095MB. If the
above paging file size exceeds 4095MB, specify 4095MB for the paging file size.
The dump file size for the system with more than 2GB memory mounted is '2048MB +
12MB'.
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 512MB, the partition size will be calculated by the above formula as
follows:
1000MB + (512MB * 1.5) + 512MB + 12MB + Application Size
= 2292MB + Application Size
Dividing into the partition of the recommended size into multiple disks as written below will solve problem that it
cannot be reserved in one disk.
9.
Set the "Size required for installation + Paging file size".
10.
See Chapter 5 and set that debugging information (equivalent to the dump file size) is to be written to a
separate disk.
(If the disk does not have enough free space to enable the file size to be written, then after installing the
system using the "Size required for installation + Paging file size," install an additional new disk.)
