Excessive paging during Netbackup jobs

G

Guest

I have 2800 per second, MS recommends no more than 1000. I found a setting
that allocates more memory pools, but don't want to hose things too much by
playiing with it:

Support for Windows Server 2003 SP1 on Windows Storage Server 2003-based
server appliances

….

x86-based systems only

Set PagedPoolSize as follows:

Value name: PagedPoolSize

Type: reg_dword

Radix: Hex Value

data: 0xC0000000

Registry Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management

However, if you anticipate that some Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
snapshots will be large, you can improve performance by setting the
PagedPoolSize value as follows:

Value name: PagedPoolSize

Type: reg_dword

Radix: Hex Value

data: 0xFFFFFFFF

Registry Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management

….


On my file server this is set to ZERO, not C0000000. What do you think about
maxing this setting, or at least returning it to the default?
