Reinstalling an Operating System in a Dynamic
Disk
A basic disk that has been upgraded to a dynamic disk may contain an additional partition other than the partition where you reinstall the operating system. To reinstall the operating system in the dynamic disk without removing the old partition(s):
■ Choose the partition where an old operating system was located.
■ To format the partition, choose
Use the current File System .
Installing on the Mirrored Volume
When re-installing the OS to a hard disk drive which has been upgraded to Dynamic
Disk, only the simple dynamic volume is available for installation.
To install the OS on a volume that is mirrored using Disk Management, proceed as follows:
1. invalidate the mirroring
2. reset to the basic disk before the installation
3. validate the mirroring again after the installation.
Note: You can create, invalidate, or delete the mirror volume by using Disk Management in Computer Management.
Magneto-Optical Drive
If you try to set the current file system to NTFS on your system with MO drives connected, you may fail to format the file system.
To format correctly, disconnect the MO drives from your system and repeat the installation procedure.
Tape Media
Remove all tapes from the tape drives before you install.
Additional Peripheral Devices (such as RDX)
12
User Guide www.bull.com
Some peripheral devices need to be removed or disabled before starting setup. Refer to the instruction manual delivered with the peripheral device for pertinent information, and proceed accordingly.
BIOS Update
To install Microsoft
®
Windows Server
®
2008, you may need to update your BIOS.
To check if your system needs the BIOS update, go to:
http://support.bull.com
For the update procedure, see Readme.txt available on the above website.
RAID Configuration
To use the hard disk drives in RAID configuration, configure the RAID system before installing Microsoft
®
Windows Server
®
2008.
To use the RAID controller (LSI MegaRAID SAS PCI EXPRESS ROMB) embedded on the mother board, refer to "RAID System Configuration" in the User's Guide of the server.
To use the optional RAID controller, refer to the manual delivered with the controller.
System Partition Size
Use the following formula to calculate the total partition size required for Microsoft
®
Windows Server
®
2008:
Microsoft
®
Windows Server
®
2008 64-bit (x64) Edition
Required partition size = size required to install OS + paging file size + dump file size
+ application size
Size required to install OS = 11,600MB (Full Installation) or = 4,100MB (Server Core Installation)
Paging file size (recommended) = Installed memory size x 1.5
Dump file size = Installed memory size + 300MB
Application size = Required size
Caution
■
The above paging file size is recommended for collecting debug information (memory dump). A paging file size must be large enough to store dump files in the boot volume, or
13
User Guide www.bull.com
the lack of virtual memory may result in a failure to collect debug information. Ensure that your system has a sufficient paging file size.
■
Regardless of mounted memory size and the Write debugging information (type of memory dump), the maximum size of the dump file is the mounted memory size + 300 MB".
■
To install additional applications, add a disk volume for the applications.
Example:
A partition size required for a system with an installed memory size of 512 MB and a full installation of the operating system:
11,600MB + (512MB x 1.5) + (512MB + 300MB) + application size = 13,180MB + application size.
If the provided partition size is smaller than the sum of size required to install the OS and paging file size, expand the partition size or provide a larger disk. If your system does not have a sufficient dump file size, divide the required file space into multiple disks by performing the steps below:
1. Set the system partition to a sufficient size to install the OS and paging file.
2. See
“Fault Recovery Settings”, page 26
to write the debug information of the dump file into another disk.
If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, add another disk for
Dump file.

Dump file size = Installed memory size + 300MB
Application size = Required size
Caution
■
The above paging file size is recommended for collecting debug information (memory dump). A paging file with initial size must be large enough to save dump files in the boot vol-

ume, or the lack of virtual memory may result in a failure to collect debug information. Ensure that your system has a sufficient paging file size.
■
The maximum paging file size allowed per partition is
4095 MB. If the value of the installed memory size x 1.5
exceeds 4095 MB, set the paging file size to 4095 MB.
■
When the installed memory size exceeds 2GB, the maximum dump file size 2048MB + 300MB.
■
To install additional applications, add a disk volume for the applications.
Example:
A partition size required for a system with an installed memory size of 512 MB and a full installation of the operating system:
6,300MB + (512MB x 1.5) + 512MB + 300MB + application size = 7,880MB + application size.
If the partition where the operating system is installed is smaller than the sum of necessary size to install OS and paging file size", expand the partition size or provide a larger disk. If your system does not have a sufficient dump file size, divide the required file space into multiple disks by performing the steps below:
1. Set the partition size to the sum of size required to install OS and paging file size".
2. See
“Fault Recovery Settings”, page 26
to write the debug information of the dump file into another disk.
If there is not enough disk space to write the debug information, add another disk for

BitLocker
If you use BitLocker, note the following:
■ Before you install Microsoft ®
Windows Server
®
2008, create the two partitions:
- System partition for a loader
- Boot partition for the operating system
