About Maintenance Partition (the area displayed as "MAINTE_P")

The maintenance partition for server maintenance is reserved in the head of Hard Disk Drive (a partition of approximately 55MB).

This area is for saving some maintenance utilities. Do not delete the maintenance partition.

Creating Partition Size

The size for the partition that the system is to be installed can be calculated from the following formula.

Size necessary to install the system + Paging File Size + Dump File Size

+Application Size

Size necessary to install the system = 1000MB

Paging File Size (Recommended)

= Mounted Memory Size * 1.5

Dump file Size

= Mounted Memory Size + 12MB

Application Size

= Required Size

IMPORTANT:

„The above-mentioned paging file size is recommended for collecting debug information (memory dump). The paging file with initial size large enough to store the dump file in the boot drive is required.

Correct debug information might not be able to be collected due to virtual memory shortage when the paging file is insufficient, so set an enough size of the paging file with the entire system.

„The maximum paging file size which can be set on one partition is 4095MB. If the above paging file size exceeds 4095MB, specify 4095MB for the paging file size.

„The maximum dump file size for the system with more than 2GB memory mounted is '2048MB + 12MB'.

„If you install any application program or the like, add necessary space to the partition to install these programs.
