Software Installation and Configuration Notes

Before setting

z Partition size

Minimum size of the partition can be calculated from the following formula.

1635MB + paging file size + dump file size 1635MB = required for installation Paging file size (recommendation) = installed memory size x 1.5 Dump file size = installed memory size + 12MB

重要

Paging file size is required to collect debug information (memory dump). In case paging filesize is below recommendation, there might be a case that correct debug information (memory dump) can not be available.

For example, when installation size is 1024MB, minimum partition size is as follows.

1635MB + (1024MB × 1.5) + (1024MB + 12MB) = 4207MB

When partition size is smaller than “required size for installation + paging file size”,

please enlarge partition or add disks Even if enough dump file size is not available, allocation of it to several disks can be the solution.

1. Set up required size + paging file size when installation

2. Set up debug information (for dump file size) to other disk. Please refer to the later mentioned set up method for failure treatment. （If enough space to write dump file size is not available in the disk, add new disk

after installing “required size for installation + paging file size”.）
