Win 2008 R2 showing Pagefile drive almost 100% full : any concern?
Refer to attached screen.
IBM field engineers installed Windows 2008 R2 (Standard & Enterprise)
on our x3650 and x3850 : they allocate almost 100% of the space to
Y: drive.
Q1:
Is this a cause for concern that the drive is almost 100% used ?
Q2:
What's the usual practice? To allocate only 80% of the drive for
pagefile?
Q3:
By allocating almost 100%, will it affect Windows/systems' performance?
Q4:
Will this pagefile grow or it will stay at this 99.x % all the time?
Q5:
Windows will occasionally flash out a brief message (which I was not able
to capture as it's too brief/momentary) saying Y: drive is almost full. How
to disable this message (so that others don't get alarmed unnecessarily?).
Would setting it in the registry below disable this message :
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi
NoLowDiskSpaceChecks REG_DWORD 1
Q6:
Does anyone set Tivoli to monitor the Y: drive utilization (or the drive
that houses the pagefile) ?
