utility needed to max out page file use

[Guest RossB]

I am looking to test multiple servers accessing SAN storage, while maximising

page file use. Are there any utilities out there to maximise page file use? I

wish to ensure we can use multiple servers both, booting from and accessing

SAN at the same time.

 

Essentially, I have read that there are issues doing this, and wish to

verify the stability of using SANs to replace internal hard disks, as we have

significant performance advantages doing this(around 20 times faster on read

and write access).

Re: utility needed to max out page file use

 

Try Leakyapp. You could also use Clearmem to force a quick, sudden

trimming of all the working sets (including the System Working Set),

that should force all the working sets to be quickly paged out. Both of

those tools/applications are available on the Microsoft website. Be

aware that these applications (especially clearmem) can/may crash the

server. Let us know how you make out, it would be informative to find

out the outcome of your experiment!
