Hardware
configuration
warnings

When installing Windows Server 2008 R2, the following hardware configurations
require special procedures.
 Reinstalling to a mirrored volume

When reinstalling to a Hard Disk Drive that has been converted to a dynamic disk,
the operating system can only be installed to a simple dynamic volume.
If installing to a mirrored volume by using Disk Management, disable mirroring
and return to a basic disk prior to installation. After the operating system is
installed, return to the mirrored state.
Click on Computer Management and then Disk Management to create, release,
or delete mirrored volumes
 Connecting MO devices

failure. Remove the MO device, and then start installation from the beginning.
 DAT, LTO, and similar media

Do not set media that is unnecessary to installation during setup.
 RDX and similar peripheral devices

Depending on the configuration of the hardware being used, it may be necessary
to remove or stop peripheral devices prior to starting setup.
Refer to the manuals of each peripheral device to make sure each is in its
appropriate state, and then proceed with setup.
 Reinstalling to Hard Disk Drives that have been upgraded to dynamic disks

If the Hard Disk Drive has been upgraded to a dynamic disk, an operating system
cannot be reinstalled to it with the existing partitions.

 Connecting to multiple Hard Disk Drives (Logical Drives)

System
partition size

The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size
Size required to install the OS = 8,000 MB (Full installations)
= 3,500 MB (Server Core installations)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5
Dump file size
= installed memory size + 300 MB
Application size
= as required by the application
For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB) and Full installation is
selected, the partition size is calculated as follows:
8,000 MB + (1,024 MB  1.5) + 1,024 MB + 300 MB + application size = 10,860
MB + application size

For details on installing operating systems to a system in which multiple Logical
Drives exist, refer to Chapter 1 (3.8 Installation When Multiple Logical Drives
Exist).

Important  The above mentioned partition size is the minimum partition size
required for system installation.
Ensure that the partition size is sufficient for system operations.
The following partition sizes are recommended.
Full installations: 32,768 MB (32 GB) or more
Server Core installations: 10,240MB (10 GB) or more
*1 GB = 1,024 MB
 The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the Windows partition paging
file must be large enough to store dump files.
Make sure you set a sufficient paging file size. If the paging file is
insufficient, there will be a virtual memory shortage that may result in
an inability to collect correct debug information.
 Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug
information, the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal
memory + 300 MB".
 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of
space needed by the application to the partition.

partition size

If the partition size for installing the system is smaller than the size required for
installation + paging file size, expand the partition size or add another disk. If your
system does not have a sufficient dump file size, divide the required file space into
multiple disks by performing the following steps.
1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.
2. Write the debug information of the dump file onto another disk by referring to 7.
Setup for Solving Problems.
If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, set the partition
size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another disk
for the dump file.
Tips

When creating a new partition, Windows OS assigns an initial boot partition of
100 MB.
For example, when making a partition of 40,960 MB (40 GB), usable space will
be 40,960 MB – 100 MB = 40,860 MB.

Free space
Windows Partition (40,860 MB)
Boot Partition (100 MB)
The boot partition is not recognized from the operating system.

Using
BitLocker

If using BitLocker, note the following.
 Be sure to keep the recovery password secure. Do not keep it near a server
running BitLocker.
 To reinstall the operating system into a partition that is encrypted with BitLocker,
delete the BitLocker-encrypted partition prior to reinstallation.
 Microsoft releases software updates for BitLocker encryption. If using BitLocker, it
is important that you read through the information provided by Microsoft. Also
read through the checklist published by Microsoft.
For details, visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975496/en-us.
Important If the recovery password is not entered, the OS cannot be started, and the
content of the partition encrypted by BitLocker cannot be referenced any
more.
The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after the
following:
 Replacement of motherboard
 Initialization of trusted platform module (TPM)
 Change of BIOS setting

Installing
Service Pack

You can install the Service Pack on the server. When the Service Pack is not
attached to your system, prepare it by yourself.

License
authentication

License authentication might be required, depending on the operating environment.
For details, refer to 3.7 License Authentication.
Important  Activate within 30 days following installation.
 A virtual product key is used when installing in a virtual environment. It
is not used when directly installing an operating system to a physical
server.

Important

 You must set up LiveLink when setting up a team. Teams that are not
configured for LiveLink are not supported.
 When deleting the team, refer to Chapter 1 (3.5.3 Setting up team/LiveLink)
– (4) Procedure for deleting team. When replacing the motherboard or a
LAN board, follow these steps to remove the team and then create it again
after replacement.
 Be sure to specify the same Jumbo Mtu (Jumbo Packet) setting to all the
adapters that compose a team.

(1)

Team types
The following team types are supported.
 Smart Load Balancing and Failover (without Standby Member)
All adapters that compose the team perform communication.
If a communication failure occurs on an adapter, other adapters that compose the team continue the
communication.
When the adapter on which the communication failure occurred recovers, it joins the team again and
resumes the communication.
 Smart Load Balancing (Auto-Failback Disable) (with Standby Member)
Among the adapters that compose the team, primary adapters except the standby member perform
communication.
If a communication failure occurs, the standby member continues the communication.
When the adapter on which the communication failure occurred recovers, it joints the team again and
the standby adapter returns to the standby state.

(2)

LiveLink
LiveLink is a function that detects communication route failures of adapters.
It periodically investigates the communication status of specified destinations (IP address).
Link packets are sent from each adapter within a team.
If a response to the transmission of a link packet within the specified range is not detected, it is identified as a
communication route failure and adapter communication is stopped.
When a response to the submission of a link packet is detected, communication LiveLink identifies
communication as having been recovered, and communication using that adapter automatically resumes.

Important

You must set up LiveLink when you create a team.

9. You can use the default setting for Probe interval and Probe maximum retries. If you change these
values, select a value from each drop-down list, click the target probe (Probe Target xx), and then click
[Edit Target IP Address…].

Tips

 The setting range of Probe interval (link packet transmission interval) is 1 to 60
(units: seconds).
 The setting range of Probe maximum retries (link packet retry count) is 1 to 10
(times).
 Switching a path upon detection of a communication path error by LiveLink takes
(Probe maximum retries + 1) x Probe interval (seconds) at maximum.
If an optional LAN board detects that a link is down, failover occurs immediately
after the link goes down. It takes the time specified for Probe interval (seconds)
to recover from the link going down.

10. In the Target xx text box, enter the IP address of the alive monitoring server, and then click [OK].



Important

 Target xx must be the same broadcast domain as that specified for the data
communication IP and LiveLink communication IP (described in step 13).
Specify an IP address that exists on the network and with which
communication is possible.
 If communication with the IP address specified in Target xx is not possible,
the team will also be unable to communicate. It is therefore recommended
that you specify multiple IP addresses using Probe Target. Up to four IP
addresses can be specified.

partition size

The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size
[Full installations]
Size required to install the OS = 11,600 MB (Windows Server 2008)
= 12,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 with
Service Pack 2)
= 16,720 MB (Windows Server 2008 + Service
Pack 2 DVD-ROM)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5
Dump file size
= installed memory size + 300 MB
Application size
= as required by the application
[Server Core installations]
Size required to install the OS = 4,100 MB (Windows Server 2008)
= 12,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 with
Service Pack 2)
= 9,300 MB (Windows Server 2008 + Service
Pack 2 DVD-ROM)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5
Dump file size
= installed memory size + 300 MB
Application size
= as required by the application

For details on reinstalling operating systems to a system in which multiple Logical
Drives exist, refer to Chapter 1 (4.9 Installation When Multiple Logical Drives
Exist).

Important  The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the boot volume paging file
must be large enough to store dump files. Make sure you set a sufficient
paging file size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual
memory shortage that may result in an inability to collect correct debug
information.
 Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug
information, the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal
memory + 300 MB".
 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of
space needed by the application to the partition.

MB + application size
If the partition size for installing the system is smaller than the size required for
installation + paging file size, expand the partition size or add another disk. If your
system does not have a sufficient dump file size, divide the required file space into
multiple disks by performing the following steps.
1. Set the system partition size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file.
2. Write the debug information of the dump file onto another disk by referring to
Chapter 1 (7. Setup for Solving Problems).
If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, set the partition
size to a size sufficient to install the OS and paging file, and then add another disk
for the dump file.
The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size

Upgrade to
Windows
Server 2008

Inplace upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 is not
recommended because it overwrites the files and registries and might make an
unexpected effect on the system and applications.
If you want to use Windows Server 2008, back up the necessary data before
installing Windows Server 2008.
Tips

Inplace upgrade refers to overwriting an existing OS (in this case,
Windows 2003) with another OS (Windows Server 2008).



Application of
Service Packs

Before applying a Service Pack, make sure that Windows Server 2003 R2 Edition
DISC 2 has been installed.



Use the Starter Pack when you apply a Service Pack from the Service Pack 2
CD-ROM.



If you used OS installation media including Service Pack 2 for installation, you do
not have to install Service Pack 2 again.



System
partition size

The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size
Size required to install the OS = 4,100 MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 x64
Edition with Service Pack 2)
= 5,900 MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 x64
Edition + Service Pack 2 CD-ROM)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5
Dump file size
= installed memory size + 1 MB
Application size
= as required by the application
For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB) and Full installation is
selected, the partition size is calculated as follows:
4,100 MB + (1,024 MB  1.5) + 1,024 MB + 1 MB + application size = 6,661 MB +
application size
Important  The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the boot volume paging file
must be large enough to store dump files. Make sure you set a sufficient
paging file size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual
memory shortage that may result in an inability to collect correct debug
information.
 Regardless of the sizes of internal memory and write debug
information, the maximum size of the dump file is "size of internal
memory + 1 MB".
 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of
space needed by the application to the partition.

Service Packs

If Windows Server 2003 R2 is already installed, make sure that Windows Server
2003 R2 Edition DISC 2 has been installed before applying a Service Pack.



Use the Starter Pack when you apply a Service Pack from the Service Pack 2
CD-ROM.



If you used OS installation media including Service Pack 2 for installation, you do
not have to install Service Pack 2 again.



System
partition size

The system partition size can be calculated by using the following formula.
Size required to install the OS + paging file size + dump file size + application size
Size required to install the OS = 3,500 MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 with
Service Pack 2)
= 5,300 MB (Windows Server 2003 R2 + Service
Pack 2 CD-ROM)
= 5,300 MB (Windows Server 2003 with Service
Pack 1 + Service Pack 2 CD-ROM)
Paging file size (recommended) = installed memory size  1.5
Dump file size
= installed memory size + 12 MB
Application size
= as required by the application
For example, if the installed memory size is 1 GB (1,024 MB), the partition size is
calculated as follows:
3,500 MB + (1,024 MB  1.5) + 1,024 MB + 12 MB + application size = 6,072 MB
+ application size
Important  The above paging file sizes are recommended for collecting debug
information (dump file). The initial size of the boot volume paging file
must be large enough to store dump files. Make sure you set a sufficient
paging file size. If the paging file is insufficient, there will be a virtual
memory shortage that may result in an inability to collect correct debug
information.
 The maximum paging file size that can be specified for one partition is
4095 MB. If 1.5 times of the mounted memory size exceeds 4095 MB,
specify 4095 MB.
 If the mounted memory size is 2 GB or greater, the maximum size of the
dump file is “2048 MB + 12 MB”.
 When installing other applications or other items, add the amount of
space needed by the application to the partition.

This section describes the procedures for collecting a memory dump (debug information) in the server.

Important

 Cautions concerning memory dumpsMemory dumps must be collected by
a staff member from the maintenance service company. Customers only
need to specify the settings for the memory dump.
 If any trouble occurs after specifying the settings below and you attempt to
restart the system to save the memory dump, a message informing you
that the system is short of virtual memory might appear. However, this
message can be ignored and you can proceed with the restart. If you
restart the system a second time, the memory dump might not be stored
normally.

7.1.1

For Windows Server 2008 R2

Important

 For the Write debugging information drop-down list, we recommend
specifying Complete memory dump. If the mounted memory size is greater
than 2 GB, however, Complete memory dump cannot be specified because
it is not displayed on the drop-down list. In this case, specify Kernel
memory dump instead.
 Specify a drive that has a free space of at least "the memory capacity
mounted on the server + 300 MB".
 If you attempt to add memory that will cause the mounted memory size to
exceed 2 GB, specify Kernel memory dump from the Write debugging
information drop-down list before adding the memory. The size of the
debug information (memory dump) to be collected changes if memory is
added. Make sure that the free space of the drive to store the debug
information (memory dump) is sufficient.
