Switch: Windows Server
built 645 days ago
This switch forces x86-based systems to allocate 3 GB of virtual address space to programs and 1 GB to the kernel and to executive components. A program must be designed to take advantage of the additional memory address space. With this switch, user mode programs can access 3 GB of memory instead of the usual 2 GB that Windows allocates to user mode programs. The switch moves the starting point of kernel memory to 3 GB. Some configurations of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 may require this switch.
MILPITAS, Calif., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE:LSI) , the leading supplier of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) storage solutions, today unveiled the first prototypes of an industry-leading SAS switch, offering a new option in building low-cost, high-performance storage networks. As SAS gains traction in server Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and rack-based storage environments, the LSI switch will enable SAS-based servers to connect to multiple SAS storage arrays. The switch will be on display in the LSI galleria kiosk at the Storage Networking World conference, April 3-6, 2006.
This switch sets the number of processors that Windows will run at startup. With this switch, you can force a multiprocessor system to use only the quantity of processors (number) that you specify. This switch can help you troubleshoot performance problems and defective CPUs.
Complete SAS switch management through an embedded Web server will be provided. As the SAS physical layer supports both SAS and Serial ATA (SATA), the SAS switch will enable a single switching infrastructure capable of addressing multiple classes of storage by supporting a mix of SAS and SATA drives.
Use this switch to turn on Emergency Management Services (EMS) on a Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition-based computer. For additional information about EMS, search on "Emergency Management Services" in Windows Help and Support.
