I am building compaq servers @ a site. The company standard is a c: d: partition. They have 4 gigs physical mem and 3 18gig drives.
how would you configure the pagefile.

Hi,

i would move the Pagefile.sys to it's own partition, since you have (normally) no place on the bootdrive C:. This means ?that automatic dumpfile creation on an stop error would be disabled, since the pagefile had to be on the partition c forthis issue.

For large Servers iv'e allways choose an pair of HDD in a RAID 1 configuration for Boot/System and Pagefile and min. 3 Drives for the DATA partition in a RAID 5 configuration. If i had to build an DATAcenter Server i would choose an Raid 0+1 (RAID 10) for the DATA Drive with minimum of 5 disk's (10 DISK) depending on the LOAD the Server will have. (7 Drives in a RAID 5 equal to 500/s IO's per second).

regards

Frobo
