Hi
On any server, I use of these two settings for the page file:
- Let the system automatically manage the Page File size
- Set the page file to 1.5 x RAM
I haven't reviewed this in a long time, so its time for fresh input!
I was reviewing two of our SQL 2012 Servers yesterday. Both were configured by someone else, with the following setup:
- C - Local Disk
- D - PageFile (12Gb)
- F - DB
- G - Logs
- H - Temp DB
- I - Temp Logs
Server SQL02 has 16Gb of RAM, Page File is set to a custom size of 11Gb on D drive.
Server SQL03 has 32Gb of RAM, Page File set toautomatically managed. Which results on a 32Gb page file on the C drive.
So there is nothing on the D - Pagefile disk for SQL03.
I think both servers could be configured better.
SQL02 - should I expand the D Pagefile disk to 1.5x16 = 24Gb?
SQL03 - I think move the Pagefile to the D drive so it matches our other...
