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
Full installations
Size required to install the OS = 15,600 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2 + Service Pack 1)
= 8,400 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1)
= 8,000 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2)
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 = 11,100 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2 + Service Pack 1)
= 3,700 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1)
= 3,500 MB
( Windows Server 2008 R2)
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
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
Note
• The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the Windows partition 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.
