Hi
I have PAE enabled and we have no issues with the Applications working in this
mode. I have set the "write debugging information" option to kernel memory
dump. I have set the pagefile to 10GB but am concerned its too big or may have
a performance impact. Is there any issues with leaving the swap at 10GB? Is
performance impacted as the file is bigger?
Regards
Angela

Angela,
The PAE switch is ok, if the
apps (or at least some ) are PAE aware (kind of > 32bit but less then a real
64 bit environment), so this might be limitted to MS apps addressing above the
4GB barrier (maybe Oracle ? anyone an idea on that ? or does Oracle have its
own memory manager as some SAP products do ??)
Paging beyond 4096MB requires several
volumes as there is an limit imposed per volume of 4096MB (but there is a
backdoor to create separate folders for every pagefile)

That’s not
100% correct Nick. Using Enterprise Edition you can enable /PAE in the boot.ini
so that the “System” will see all the RAM. No apps will be able to
address the memory above 4GB, but the System will use it as virtual memory.
There
have been many studies done that say that this will provide a considerable
performance boost. I would still start with a 4GB page file, but you may be
able to decrease this or remove it altogether. However, if you still want to
enable kernel memory dumps, leave an 850MB page file on the System drive. You
would never do a full memory dump!
Cheers,
Jeremy.

The x86 OS
will only see 3gb Ram in any case so you don't need to worry too much.

Hi
Im building new Windows 2003 Enterprise
servers with XenApp 4.5 (32 bit). Servers have 16Gb RAM. Hardware
was originally sized for x64 but we must go with x86. How big should the
swap file be if server has 16Gb RAM? If I follow the RAM X 1.5 rule I
will end up with a 24GB swap which seems like overkill. I have the disk
space but was wondering what the best practice is or if there are
dissadvantages in using a large swapfile.
Thanks
