==== Windows 2008 ==== | |||
In order to be able to squeeze the most of a virtual infrastructure its imperative that VM's are configured for best performance. | |||
* '''System Performance''' - Set the OS for best performance | |||
** In '''Server Manager''', go to to '''Change System Properties''' | '''Advanced''' tab, and then '''Settings...''' | |||
**# Visual Effects tab - Adjust for best performance | |||
**# Advanced tab - Tailor for the application/service the server is running - set for programs to reduce memory caching for services | |||
**# Virtual memory/page file - Should be set to a fixed size, and ideally as small as possible so as to conserve disk space usage. You need to know what you're doing when you set this. Do you expect your systems to be starved of memory and need to page? Whilst I personally try to keep the page file down to 1GB in size, this can be catastrophic for some workloads (especially if an application needs to map large files, which would normally be backed by page file). | |||
