Server 2003 32-bit Enterprise only see 3 GB RAM if 8 GB is assigned in the VM

Created a new virtual machine in Vsphere 4 using Server 2003 32-bit Enterprise. The Enterprise edition to see the extra RAM that the VM assigned but so far is only 3 GB.  I've read several things about adding something in the boot.ini file, but I don't think in this case it would be a solution, as this seems to help you overcome the problem on a Standard Edition 32 bit, not the company that should see the RAM.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and possibly find a solution?

Your physical address extensions are enabled?  Here's the Microsoft KBase article that I followed to get 2 of my servers of the company to work.

  • Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

    I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

    The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

    Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

    Thank you in advance,

    Heath

    2 things:

    1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

    2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    MemTrimRate = 0

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

    If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

    Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

  • Windows Server 2003 (64-bit), Terminal Server has 2 mouse pointers when you connect via RDP

    I recently reinstalled one of our Terminal Server Windows Server 2003 (64-bit) servers.
    When you connect via RDP, I get 2 mouse pointers. One seems to be the pointer to the session that changes of hourglass, etc... and the pointer remains under the arrow.

    I have all the updates that are installed.
    There is no options on the RDP settings like what I use on other RDP to the other Terminal server sessions and is not on any other I RDP server on my client.

    I connected as other RDP clients and get with the same problem, is not a customer number
    Is there a setting on the server to disable this option?

    How can I remove the pointer that does not change in the session?

  • Create a 11.2.0.1 DBConsole windows Server 2003 32-bit

    Hello

    I installed a database of 11 GR 2 (11.2.0.1) on a windows Server 2003 32-bit. Now, I have to create it's dbconsole, since I did not do it on the installation and the creation of the database.

    I searched through the notes 278100.1 , and it explains how to create a DB 11.2. What I found, it was that he made the launch of this command:

    EMCA - config dbcontrol db-rest create

    Is that ok? And if it is, at the end of the process it will say por which affected the em Console?

    Thank you

  • 11 G Server 2003 64-bit wide Page problem

    I have two 11g 64-bit Server 2003 Enterprise servers running with the great support Page turned on without any problem. However, I have a new server with the same database and the OS versions that can't do the work of great Support of Page. This server is equipped with processors dual core quad Opteron 2393 SE, others have Intel processors. It's really the only difference I can see. I did everything to turn on the large Page support, has added the Oracle user ("Act as part of the operating system," adjust memory Quotas for a process, "Replace a process level token", 'Lock Pages in memory'). I also added the ORA_LPENABLE = 1 in the registry correctly. As soon as I do and restart the server, the database fails to start and will only start once I put ORA_LPENABLE = 0. These alerts log says:

    Starting ORACLE instance (normal)
    Great on page: 1
    The large page size: 2097152
    Page size in great demand: 16777216

    NUMA LP Alloc on node: 2 alloc:0000000045000000 req:0000000045000000

    That's where it stops. The server has 8 GB or RAM and BMG is about 3 GB. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there is some sort of BUG with the Opterons from AMD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    MOS note 422844.1:

    "On AMD systems, you may need to disable Numa support in order to get the instance to start with large Pages. You do this by setting the following registry as a REG_SZ parameter, in the same tone as the ORA_LPENABLE:
    _ENABLE_NUMA - set to false.

    In addition, in the init.ora, set the following parameter:
    _ENABLE_NUMA_OPTIMIZATION = FALSE '.

    Of course, these features of initial underscore means "to connect to a support call. Maybe they have some fix now, I think remember that some well-known bloggers are fans NUMA.

    Hi all

    I try to install OBIEE on Windows Server 2003. I have installed the Java SDK from here:
    http://Java.Sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

    Then I set the JAVA_HOME to be D:\Sun\SDK and %JAVA_HOME%\bin we add the path in the system variables.
    There is also a variable user called Administrator PATH with the value D:\Sun\SDK\bin.

    When I run Setup OBIEE, I wonder for the location of the JDK (JAVA_HOME), but no matter what I come here, I get the following error:
    "Please specify a location for installation of JDK valid."

    I tried D:\Sun\SDK, D:\Sun\SDK\bin and a few others too, but nothing seems to work.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi Alex,

    You cannot upgrade a 32 bit OS to a 64-bit OS.  You will need to build a new host OS vCenter.  Is the local or remote DB?
