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