3634.0. "upgrade .. pagefile problems ???" by VAXRIO::ABREU () Mon Dec 06 1993 16:28

    Hi,
    
       We have a customer here that we have done an upgrade from version
    2.3 to 3.0. Before this upgrade , the pagefile had less than 50% of
    usage. After the upgrade, the usage increased to 90% and  a lot of
    messages appeared in the console to advise the customer of problems
    with the pagefile... Message 'pagefrag and pagecrit'. What we did was
    to increase the pagefile size and everything seems to be ok . But the
    customer wants to know why this happened.
    
    This customer has 4 machines. Two had this problem . And both had the
    problem the day after the upgrade.
    
    Any ideas ?
    
    Thanks .. Marcia

    V3.0 does use more memory - and does require more pagefile space.
    Memory usage for an equivalent workload is reckoned to be up 8%. If the
    customer is making use of the new features then memory will rise
    further. Probably the biggest impact is in the use of drawers
    especially when the File Cabinet Server is involved.
    
    If the customer is worried then he could restrict drawer creation but
    he just appears curious.
