 Connecting to multiple Har d Disk Drives (Logical Drives)

For details on installing operating systems to a system in which multiple Logical Drives exist, refer to Chapter 1 (3.8 Installation When Multiple Logical Drives Exist).

System partition size

The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.

Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size Size required to install the OS = 8,000 MB (Full installations)

= 3,500 MB (Server Core installations) Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5 Dump file size = installed memory size + 300 MB Application size = as required by the application

For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB) and Full installation is selected, the partition size is calculated as follows:

8,000 MB + (1,024 MB  1.5) + 1,024 MB + 300 MB + application size = 10,860 MB + application size

Important

 The above mentioned partition size is the minimum partition size

required for system installation. Ensure that the partition size is sufficient for system operations. The following partition sizes are recommended.

Full installations: 32,768 MB (32 GB) or more Server Core installations: 10,240MB (10 GB) or more *1 GB = 1,024 MB

 The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug

information (dump file). The initial size of the W indows partiti on paging file must be large enough to store dump files. Make sure you set a sufficient paging file size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual memory shortage that ma y result in an inability to collect correct debug information.

 Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug

information, the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal memory + 300 MB".

 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of

space needed by the application to the partition.

System partition size

3. Setting Up Windows Server 2008 R2

(3/3)

If the partition size for installing the system is smaller than the size required for installation + paging file size, expand the partition size or add another dis k. If your system does not have a sufficient dump file size, divide the required file space into multiple disks by performing the following steps.

1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.

2. Write the debug information of the dump file onto another disk by referring to 7. Setup for Solving Problems.

If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, set the partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another disk for the dump file.

Tips

When creating a new partition, Windows OS assigns an initial boot partition of 100 MB. For example, when making a partition of 40,960 MB (40 GB), usable space will be 40,960 MB – 100 MB = 40,860 MB.

Free space

Using BitLocker

If using BitLocker, note the following.

 Be sure to keep the recovery password secure. Do not keep it near a server

running BitLocker.

 To reinstall the operating s ystem into a partition that is encrypted with BitLocker,

delete the BitLocker-encrypted partition prior to reinstallation.

 Microsoft releases software updates for BitLocker encryption. If using BitLocker, it

is important that you read through the information provided by Microsoft. Also read through the checklist published by Microsoft. For details, visit

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975496/en-us.

Important

If the recovery password is not entered, the OS cannot be started, and the content of the partition encrypted by BitLocker cannot be refer enced any more.

The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after the following:

 Replacement of motherboard  Initialization of trusted platfor m mod ule (TPM)  Change of BIOS setting

Installing Service Pack

Setting up team/LiveLink

3. Setting Up Windows Server 2008 R2

(1) Team types

The following team types are supported.

 Smart Load Balancing and Failover (without Standby Member)

All adapters that compose the team perform communication. If a communication failure occurs on an adapter, other adapters that com pose the team continue the communication. When the adapter on which the communication failure occurred recovers, i t joins the team again and resumes the communication.

 Smart Load Balancing (Auto-Failback Disable) (with Standby Member)

Among the adapters that compose the team, primary adapters except the standby member perform communication. If a communication failure occurs, the standby member continues the communication. When the adapter on which the communication failure occurred recovers, it joints the team again and the standby adapter returns to the standby state.

Important

 You must set up LiveLink when setting up a team. Teams that are not

configured for LiveLink are not supported.

 When deleting t he team, refer to Chapter 1 (3.5.3 Setting up team/LiveLink)

– (4) Procedure for deleting team. When repl acing the motherboard or a LAN board, follow these steps to remove the team and then c reate it again after replacement.

 Be sure to s pecify the same Jumbo Mtu (Jumbo Pac ket) setting to all the

adapters that compose a team.

(2) LiveLink

Live

Link is a function that detects communication route failures of adapters.

It periodically investigates the communication status of specified destinations (IP address). Link packets are sent from each adapter within a team.

If a response to the transmission of a link packet within the specified range is not detec ted, it is identified as a communication route failure and adapter communication is stopped.

When a response to the submission of a link packet is detected, communication LiveLink identifies communication as having been recovered, and communication using that adapter a utomatically resumes.

Important

You must set up LiveLink when you create a team.

Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size

[Full installations]

Size required to install the OS = 11,600 MB (Windows Server 2008) = 12,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 with

Service Pack 2)

= 16,720 MB (Windows Server 2008 + Service

Pack 2 DVD-ROM) Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5 Dump file size = installed memory size + 300 MB Application size = as required by the application

[Server Core installations]

Size required to install the OS = 4,100 MB (Windows Server 2008) = 12,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 with

Service Pack 2)

= 9,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 + Service

Pack 2 DVD-ROM) Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5 Dump file size = installed memory size + 300 MB Application size = as required by the application

Important

 The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug

information (dump file). The initial size of t he boot volume paging file must be large enough to store dump files. Make sure you set a sufficient paging file size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual memory shortage that may result in an inability to collect correct debug information.

 Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug

information, the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal memory + 300 MB".

 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of

space needed by the application to the partition.

For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB) and Full installation is selected, the partition size is calculated as follows:

11,600 MB + (1,024 MB  1.5) + 1,024 MB + 300 MB + application size = 14,460 MB + application size

1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.

2. Write the debug information of the dump file onto another disk by referring to Chapter 1 (7. Setup for Solving Problems).

If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, set the partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another disk for the dump file.

The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.

Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size

[Full installations]

Size required to install the OS = 6,300 MB (Windows Server 2008) = 9,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 with

 The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug

 A paging file si ze of 4096 MB or greater cannot be specified for one

partition in some system configurations. If a message prompting you to specify a value smaller than 4096 MB appears, specify 4095 MB.

 If the mounted memory size is 2 GB or greater, the maximum size of the

dump file is "2048 MB + 300 MB".

 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of

space needed by the application to the partition.

1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.

2. Write the debug information of the dump file onto another disk by referring to Chapter 1 (7. Setup for Solving Problems).

If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, set the partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another disk for the dump file.

Inplace upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 is not recommended because it overwrites the files and registries and might make an unexpected effect on the system and applications.

If you want to use Windows Server 2008, back up the necessary data before installing Windows Server 2008.

Tips

Inplace upgrade refers to overwriting an existing OS (in this case, Windows 2003) with another OS (Windows Server 2008).
