5.1 Memory Dump/Paging File
Setting
Before start operating this server, configure the setting for obtaining memory dump.
The setting procedure varies between Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000
Server.
Memory dump
If memory dump is set, debugging information will be automatically saved when a STOP error (fatal
system error) occurs in the system. Using the saved memory dump, error cause can be analyzed.
If the amount of installed memory is large, pay special attention when setting the memory dump file.
The settings for obtaining memory dump should be configured after installing the files to be used for
operations (OS, applications, etc.).
5.1.1 How to Obtain Memory Dump
Check the following settings before starting configuration to obtain memory dump.
Checking hard disk free space
To obtain memory dump, sufficient hard disk capacity is required for creating paging files and memory
dump files.
The obtainable dump types and required hard disk capacity are as follows:
Complete memory (full) dump (recommended)
When the system unexpectedly stops, contents of the whole system memory are recorded. The file is
stored in the directory displayed in the [Dump file] box.
• Paging file: Installed physical 11MB (Recommended: Installed physical memory
×
1.5)
• Memory dump file: Same amount as installed physical memory
When collecting a complete memory dump on a computer where there is 2GB or more of memory
installed, use the registry editor to set the registry as follows.
For details, refer to Microsoft information (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274598/).
