I see you have your pagefile on the second partition. Ours along with the
Print Spool is on C:.

That is the other thing, almost all of this utilization (99% at least) is
writing. Very little reading is going on.

Tweaking the Pagefile settings may help, but it may not solve your problem.

I don't see an issue with 2 partitions and the pagefile created on the 2nd
partition... In fact, that is what we are doing right now on the HS20s.

Have you looking into why the servers are utilizing the Hard Drive
extensively? Are you running into memory constraints? Is there a specific
process that is using the drives extensively? You need to gather more
specifics about the what is causing bottleneck before proceeding.

Are the servers patched? BIOS and Firmware updated?

Recently we started experiencing extreme % disk utilization problems on all
of our servers but 2. The hard drive will spike at 100% for minutes at a
time.

Environment:
Windows 2003
MF XPe 1.0 FR3/SP3 <- looking at upgrading to SP4 this week.
IBM Blades: Models 8832/8843 HS20s
2 - 36 GB drives mirrored and partition into 2 drives
2 - 3.0x GHz Processors
4 GB Memory
Some of our main apps
Office 2000 Pro <- All servers
Lotus Notes <- Half the servers
Adobe 6.02
IE obviously

2 possible suggestions have been presented and my question is have they
helped in your environment?
1. Move to a single partition, 1 big 36GB C: drive. Apparently IBM is
recommending this, but it doesn't make sense to me.
2. I have heard there is a way to get rid of your page file in Windows
2003 and although we currently have enough memory, applications still like
to use a page file. If we got rid of the page file, the assumption is that
apps would be forced to use the memory?

Also, if there is any other suggestions they will be gladly appreciated.
We have been living with this for about 3 weeks and we are running out of
options and we can't find any differences between the 2 that are running
good and the ones that are not.
