Configuring Virtual Memory for the Siebel Server

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Siebel Server.

The size that you set on the Siebel Server for virtual memory for Windows or the swap space for UNIX affects performance. For best results, it is recommended that you set the size of the virtual memory or swap space to 1.5 times the size of the physical memory (RAM) of the Siebel Server. You can use standard operating system techniques to accomplish this.

To configure virtual memory for a Siebel Server

• For a Windows server, from the desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and then choose Properties.
  1. In the System Properties dialog box, choose the Advanced tab, and then click Settings.
  2. In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click Change in the Virtual memory section.
  3. In the Virtual Memory dialog box, choose Custom Size, and then enter a value that is twice the size of the physical memory.
  4. Click Set, and then click OK.
• For a UNIX server, you can use the following command, which is a typical command to set swap space size:

  swap

  For more information about the swap command, see the documentation for the server operating system.
