Hello,
by accident we found a document about improving Windows NT and Windows
95 Performance for a Lotus Notes database
This performance issue might also work for any other Windows NT database.
Document found
If you experience a high page fault rate and a high page I/O as a result
of Domino server processes running on a Windows NT Advanced Server
configuration, check the configuration file. You will probably find that
the following registry entry in the configuration file is non-zero:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management\LargeSystemCache
This entry specifies that the Windows NT system should work as a file
server rather than an application server because windows NT will favor
the system cache working set rather than the processes working set. On
an Windows NT workstation, the setting for that registry entry is zero.
If you are running a Domino server on a Windows NT system set as a file
server, the excessive page faults and paging activities can result from
memory-intensive processes. For example, rebuilding the index for a
large database might result in an undesirable level of paging, causing
users to experience poor response times.
To correct the problem, reset the registry entry to zeo and reboot the
system.
This value is default 1
My questions are:
* Has any one ever tried to modify this registry setting????
- Does any one know / tried and tested other Windows NT registry
settings, to make Windows NT react better
to the database environement
- Does any one know any good books about tuning the Windows NT server
environement for a database server.
I am not refering to init<instance>.ora files etc, ONLY to the windows NT
site.
Greetings
John
