• Separate disk for paging / Swap File / virtual memory - persistent or not persistent?

  I want to spend my swap file Windows XP on a virtual disk separate to make the virtual machine smaller and easier to save.

  Choose an independent persistent or not persistent independent drive?

  1. Add drive - the persisted value

  2. start VM - format the new disk and pagefile set

• Computer configuration virtual for SRM - files from memory Swap file/Virtual - best practice replication?

  Hello, I am very new to the model DR VMWare and have a few persistent questinos.

  What is the recommended best practice re: virtual computers invited windows and virtual memory files.  I think it would be unnecessary to replicate these changing data on the DR site.  I have several virtual machines with 6-8gig memory and I'm just wondering how can I isolate the ESX memory swap files and virtual memory in Windows feedback, so they get not replicated on the Dr site as often as changing os/data.  If it's even necessary to replicate.

  We use vspere vcenter 4.1 related modes, RS 4.1 the two on-site Cellera NX4 ReplicatorV2.

  I wonder if I can install the files of pages to be in a condition NOT replicated file system or a file system which is the only value replicates every 24 hours, or once a week.

  My reasoning here is.  Once the file is there, the operating system really cares about the changes in this file and dumps windows virtual memory on a restart, as well as the .vswp file.

  what I mean is built on a virtual disk full and placing the windows file on this virtual disk to Exchange.  This virtual disk could exist in a data store hosted on a celerra file system that does not get repeated as frequently as data/OS file systems.

  or am I completely off base here.

  I think that if you tried to reproduce these files and maintain a sync time minute 10, you would need a ton of bandwidth.

  any suggestions or recommendations or even pointers to Articles/items worth points = D.

  Thanks for your time.

  Given that the configuration is made at the level of the cluster and has no impact on the SRM, replication is not a factor.  Don't forget, not to replicate the LUNS with the swap, just files have a LUN configuration on the side of recovery as well and have this defined cluster Exchange files.  Also, on the virtual machine critical we define reservations memory so the pagefile is not a factor at all.

  Kind regards...

• Disable virtual memory?

  I use Vista 64 bit. The amount of RAM: 6 GB. I think 6 GB is big enough, so I can disable virtual memory? Thanks for reading.

  Hi quantan,

  6 GB is a high amount of RAM and should be more than enough for most people.  However, if you happen to use it at the same time having several applications open, a swap file (virtual memory) will help to keep your system from grinding to a halt or the slightest mistake.  The paging file can be customized or removed all together.

  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/89ca317f-649D-40A6-8934-e5707ee5c4b81033.mspx

  In the same place that you set the minimum and maximum page file size, there is a possibility to do not use a.

  Note that Microsoft recommends that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

• Problem with MSINFO32. EXE and Total/available vs Page file space virtual memory reported

  I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 with all installed updates, latest hardware drivers, etc.. It is a CLEAN installation on a material brand new, completed a week ago.
  The "/ PAE" switch is enabled in the boot.ini file.

  When I run MSINFO32. EXE, the summary of the system is the following:
  System model: System product name
  System type: X 86-based PC
  Processor: x 86 family 16 model 4 Stepping 3 Mhz-AuthenticAMD ~ 3515
  The version of the BIOS/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 1702, 22/12/2010
  SMBIOS Version: 2.5
  Windows directory: C:\WINDOWS
  System directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32
  Starting device: \Device\HarddiskVolume2
  Locale: United States
  Layer of HAL: Version = "5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413 - 2111).
  Username: username MYUSERNAME01\My (redacted for privacy)
  Time zone: Pacific Daylight Time
  Total physical memory: 8 MB 192,00
  Available physical memory: 2.60 GB
  Total virtual memory: 2.00 GB
  Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB
  Page file space: 7.07 GB
  File: E:\pagefile.sys

  Right click on 'my computer' and selecting 'Properties' shows exact needs to be visible to a 32 bit OS... 3.24 GB of RAM. So, how MSINFO32. EXE is able to detect all of 8 GB is totally beyond me. But this isn't my problem.

  My BIG PROBLEM is the virtual memory. If I open the root of my drive E:\, it shows the swap file to size: 4 096 MB. And that's how it is in 'my computer' > 'Advanced' > 'Performance' > 'Advanced' > 'virtual memory' > 'change'.
  Custom size:
  -Initial size (MB): 4096
  -Maximum size (MB): 4096
  Total size of file for all readers:
  -Minimum authorized: 2 MB
  -Recommended: 4978 MB
  -Currently allocated: 4080 MB

  Why is-MSINFO32. EXE, statement my total virtual memory 2 GB and the size of pagefile 7.07 GB? Neither is correct! Can someone explain just what the heck happens here? My research on Google, many other people report the same total/available virtual memory amounts, with wildly different hardware configurations. I changed the size manually and rebooted several times, without result. I had the pagefile, sitting in a 5 GB partition, and then he moved on to another drive with plenty of space and assign "System managed". Divergence still existed.

  The material is as follows:
  [|] ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 BIOS v1702 [|] AMD PhenomII x 4 (970 Black Edition) [|] Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 (x 2) mode modules together ~ 800 Mhz & calendar 8-8-8-24 [|] Integrated graphics card Radeon HD 4250 with 128 MB + 512 MB memory [|] ASUS VE248H 24 "1080 p HD LED monitor [|] Drives from Maxtor 6V250F0 (x 4) 250 GB SATAII 1.5 Gbps [|] LG BD - DL Optical Drive WH10LS30 [|] Creative Labs X - Fi Platinum Sound Card [|] Logitech LX 700 keyboard/mouse wireless [|]

  I changed the speed / "timing" on the RAM to run ~ 666 Mhz @ 9-9-9-24, and the problem persists. As far as I know, he is not actually detrimental to the system; that is, it does not regularly, crash or anything. But the fact that MSINFO32. EXE cannot obtain such a right basis is VERY disturbing for me. There is no state what operating system says it is, then what fundamental problem may arise at some point in the future? Or is already there, hidden and wait a moment when the system load is high until it rears its ugly head and denounces all?
  I wonder if I should completely eliminate virtual memory? Or at least reduce the pagefile to 2 GB or close? After all, I can't imagine many running programs as long as 3.24 GB (RAM available for the operating system) is not sufficient to contain all this. I guess only he pourrait happen, however, is why I'm reluctant to totally renounce virtual memory.

  Anyway. Responses of all appreciated. Gimme a solutionand I will give my first-born. Or at least the neighbors...

• Virtual memory warning reset itself - problem of paging file No.

  Hello

  Since my upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. .everytime I restart my computer, maintains memory virtual reset itself. It keeps the switch back to "No paging file" and the "exécution Options" window keeps popping up when I restart my com.

  I tried value "Automatically manages the size of pagefile for all readers" and even "system managed size" and "custom size." When I try to reopen the window, it gives me this pop up:

  "Windows will create a temporary swap file on your computer because of a problem that occurred with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. File size of total paging for all disk drives may be a little larger than the size you specified.

  I tried to delete reg entry and see if it will fix itself... no agreement.   I have 3 GB of RAM...

  Help, please!

  Disabling AFS.sys (sc config start = disabled afs) has toured my situation when I had this problem (see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproperf/thread/c5cfe9d0-e3d8-4625-85b1-3efdf04cd1a0 for full details).

  Arrive at an elevated command prompt (Démarrer\Tous Programs\Accessories - right-click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator") and type the command above (sc config start = disabled afs).  Press enter and you will get a confirmation message that the Setup is complete.  Reboot and you should be able to put your swap file.

  Don't know why this happens, but starting from the thread that above, it appears that AFS.sys really did a lot for you, and my Win7 upgrade system works well without any problem in this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows has increased my virtual memory or page file for 2 days

  original title: Windows and virtual memory

  Windows has increased my virtual memory or page file for 2 days. Anyone know how long it takes, and if there is anything I can do to speed it up please?

  Also, will that be the reason I can't install programs?

  What is the processor and RAM how much your computer have? Make a right-click on the icon my computer on your desktop and select properties for this information.

  Try Ctrl + Alt + Delete, select Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Under Commit Charge, which is the Total, limit, and the pic?

  I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

  less than low disk space,

  What seems to be the case, it's that your windows is having a hard time resize its file for virtual memory.

  my suggestion is to remove "auto" at that time, and then set a custom format.

  I recommend that you set the initial size of 2 and max at 1152.

• The display of file space of total Information System Page after changing virtual memory allocation?

  I thought that I understood that I could set up a file.sys page on any available partition on Windows, if I wished, for example, to create more virtual memory or move a file to another drive. However the changes I make to my computer are not appearing in the system information, after a reboot - why is - this?

  I have successfully configured internal auxiliary training to take on a pagefile.sys when you use the system advanced settings in the computer file system properties. Page created on the auxiliary drive single file memory is equal to once and a half the size of the physical memory of the computer.

  As I had created a larger file of the Page on the auxiliary drive, I then decided to reduce the Page file on the boot up to 300 MB drive. When I did make changes, I clicked on the set then OK and then I rebooted the entire computer.

  After restarting the computer, I tried to check system information for a summary of the changes I had made to the file Page and virtual memory space and I was disappointed to see that the pagefile on the auxiliary drive does not show upward. Information system had just recorded space Page MB 300 in C:\pagefile.sys file, and there is no trace of the larger Page file that I created on the auxiliary drive. How is that?

  If I go back to the virtual memory window in advanced system settings, it clearly shows I changed two files Page. Yet in Information System shows only the boot Page file drive. How is that?

  I always use Internet Explorer with only 300 MB Page file space, and it works really faster than the default virtual memory allocation, however the system soon slows down after opening about 5 instances of Internet Explorer and the system starts asking to close application windows down to save memory. So why does the system not switch to use the Page file on the auxiliary drive?

• My macbook air keeps building a list of swap file 1.1 GB of files that I have to remove... .because my hd gets stuck. How to stop and cause? Please

  This is what it looks like after the removal of all but the swapfile53... (I deleted swapfile1-52) each 1.1 GB

  It is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, tokens of memory on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the boot volume.) This activity is relatively slow and causes the entire system to be less sensitive. It can happen for two reasons:

  A process of long duration with a memory leak (a kind of bug)

  Not enough memory for your usage pattern

  Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, install more memory will not help. It's likely you have already more than 4 GB of memory. Hunt for leaking memory can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.

  These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later versions. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of Mac OS X.

  When you notice the slowdown, open the activity monitor application, then select all processes in the view menu, if it is not already selected. Select the memory the real Mem of the treatment twice table column header to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you do not see this column, select

  View ▹ columns ▹ real memory

  in the menu bar.

  If a process (excluding the "kernel_task") uses a lot more memory than all the others, which could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that constantly catches real more memory over time without ever letting go. Here is an example of how it's done.

  "Wired" memory should be less than half of the total. That memory is not exchanged, but makes available physical memory that you may then in Exchange. If most of the memory is wired, which can be an indication of a leak memory in a third-party program that modifies the low-level operating system. Ask for advice in this case.

  If you do not have a clear memory leak, the options are to install more memory (not possible with a MacBook Air) or less than programs running concurrently.

  The following suggestion is reserved for users familiar with the shell. For a more accurate, but potentially misleading test, run the following command:

  sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total

  where process is the name of a process, you think of a memory leak. Almost every process will cause a memory leak. the question is how, and especially how the leakage increases with time. I can't be more specific. See the manual page leaks (1) and the Apple Developer documentation for more details.

• Settings for virtual memory for Qosmio X 505-8104 X

  Hello group,
  What is the best setting of virtual memory for general use for a x 505-8104 x with the hybrid c drive?

  Hi steilacoom.

  Best option is if Windows manage size of pagefile for all readers. Windows automatically sets the best size of swap file and you don t have to do anything.

  So just check the option automatically manage paging file for all readers size and get you the best performance and don t have any problems with the pagefile.
