Review the Server Configuration Information

To review the server configuration information in an AMRepU output file:

  1. View the creation date and time of the CAB file.

    For the memory usage statistics, it is important that the CAB file was created during business hours when typical activity occurs.

  2. Locate and open the CAB file generated by AMRepU with WinZIP or a similar program.

  3. Locate and open the System Information.txt file and review the recommendations in the following table.

    Server configuration recommendations
    Data Recommendation

    Total physical memory

    The amount should meet the requirements listed in Meridian Servers.

    Available physical memory

    There should be at least 300 MB of available physical memory during normal use. If there is less than 100 MB available when server performance is slow, the problem may be a lack of available memory. See Optimize the Server Operating System

    Available free disk space

    Each disk should have at least 15% free.

    File system type

    The drive where the vault-related data is stored should be NTFS.

  4. Locate and open the LM_Cyco.txt file and review the recommendations in the following table.

    This file contains the contents of the Cyco branch of the local machine registry hive.
