FF14 paging file usage

After some time of inactivity firefox starts offloading its ram continent to paging file, this results in firefox not responding until it load it's continents back from paging file to ram (usually takes up to a minute). How do I turn off paging file use? (I can't turn off paging file entirely due to other programs).

Firefox can't control that.<br />
It is the Windows Operating System that decides which memory pages to swap to disk t make room for other programs.
If it happens that often then it sounds that you do not have enough memory installed or try to run too many programs simultaneously and Windows runs out of memory.

Paging file counter

Hi,
O server we have these page file counters:
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage Peak
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage Peak
But only _Total counter has some values like:
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage - 29
\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage Peak - 37
Page file is located in C:\pagefile.sys and has manually assigned 4096MB.
My question is why other two counters are 0 and does not have data?
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage
\Paging File(\??\C:\pagefile.sys)\% Usage Peak
Thanks.

Hi,
Did your system have the light load?
Or you set the incorrect performance counter? You can refer the following similar thread solution to confirm you performance counter configuration:
The solution in the similar case solution:
win key + r --> perfmon --> add counter --> paging file --> % usage

Essbase 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server: Windows Virtual cache/ Paging File ?

Hi,
the speed of our nightly calculations seems to differ from day to day between 1 and 2 hours
I am wondering, what the correct setting for the windows paging file is ?
We use Windows 2003 64 Bit Server with 16 GB RAM
We run 1 Essbase application with 80 GB pag files with 4 GB Data Cache Setting and 1 GB Indexcache Setting in EAS console - on that server is actually nothing else running in production mode (just a few essbase-test application, usually offline)
what is the recommended setting on the windows level in the windows system properties for memory usage ?
We have:
Memory Usage: Adjust for best performance of "Programs" ;
Virtual Memory/Paging file on C-Drive: Custom Size, initial Size: 10 GB, maximum size 16 GB
when system was handed over from Oracle, we had 4 GB virtual memory - however in essbase manual, you read that the recommended value should be 3-5 times the physicial ram -
for me, the cache-bevahiour is strange anyway: if I watch taskmanager, I see in the middle of our 1 hour calculation the memory usage of Esssvr.exe Service using 7 GB of RAM, then the 16 GB RAM are used up at some point (paging file is 9 GB )- then suddenly nearly all the RAM get's cleared and ESSSVR.exe memory consumption goes down to 0 and from 0 increasing again-
looks to me, as all the cache for essbase get's deleted in the miiddle of the calculation, because RAM used up for paging files ?
Can anybody explain or give a clear directions, what to check ?
our application operates normally (no abnormal termination, no generation of *.xcp files)
(Essbase is installed on the 500 GB D-Drive)

Hi John,
thanks for the helpful link - the long discussion reminded me again, that pure cores and cache is not all, what makes up a good essbase application -
I will test with calcparallel 6 (in comparison to 4) on our 64bit environment - just to see if I can achieve a 10, 20 or 30% improvement...
In addition, I must admit, that 50% of our 1-2 hour calculation is calculated in serial/ not parallel... so I expect an additional 5 to 10 min improvement, not more.
Thank you for now

Need alerting on Page File % usage

Hello-
We are using SCOM 2012R2 for our environment- this is exactly what I need to accomplish
1. Monitor File Page Percentage used
2. Establish a warning and critical state, lets say warning at 90% usage and Critical at 95% on only the page file
3. We have email alerting and is running perfectly- numerous tests
Does SCOM have the ability to do this out of the box??? If so could you walk through it for me
Thank you for your time
GunnySFA

Hi Gunny,
SCOM Can do more than that. Yes it is possible.
You need to create 2 unit monitors for that. 1 for Warning 90% usage and the second for Critical
at 95%.
Create a unit monitor with the below performance counter for Page file usage in %
Monitor target : Windows Server Operating System (Will alert if this appears on all the agents running windows server o/s)
Select the items as below:
Object: Paging File
Counter: % Usage
Instance: Check the box below as all instances are needed.
Click next and mention the threshold 90%
And select the alerting type as per the screen shots.
Last Check enable the alert and the severity (Warning or critical)
Create the same way for another Critical for 95 %
Apologize for a mixed screenshot. Microsoft allows only 2 photos per answer.
If screen shot is not visible open it in a new window to enlarge.
Let me know if any doubts.

Paging file on External Hard Drive?

Sorry guys,
I seem to have read something on this, but can't relocate the post I thought I saw it on. Most posts talk about the Paging File and External Hard Drives as two different instances. I am always learning something new so am asking if you guys are doing this, or did I misread something.
Is is possible to have a Paging (Virtual Memory?) file on the same External hard drive as where Scratch Discs are saved? (Or could be a separate Internal drive where Scratch Discs are located). PrE PDF user guide talks about even several different drives, where different parts of each project are stored, way too complex for the basic user like me. A separate Paging file for each hard drive? Just asking.
If you guys are doing this what are the benefits, and is there a procedure for doing it? I am not talking about the OS Paging File because I think I already understand that. But extra, additional paging files depending on how many hard drives a person would have or wants to use. Sounds wacky.
I don't think I am asking this very well, but hope you catch my drift.

Bill and Steve,
Bill, if I am understanding correctly you are talking about having only One paging file spanning drives. I was asking about leaving the Windows Managed Paging (Virtual Memory?) File on C Drive and an additional Paging File on an extra drive. Again maybe I read wrong in the various forums.
I do have 3 eSATA external drives which I use for storing various family movies. I may buy a 2 TB internal later, but this is what I have now. My desktop is an i7 2.8ghz wiith 12 GB RAM, 64 bit Windows 7, 1 TB Hard Drives RAID 1? (MIrror Image). I have a huge paging file. I haven't been using an external drive for my Scratch Discs, but was going to set one up to do that, so thus my reasoning for asking about a separate paging file.
The eSATA connection is really quick, so it seems I will have no problem there. But the problem as I understand it, is all Premiere Elements versions (I have PrE7 & PrE9) up to PrE10 are 32 bit and are going to only use a few GB of System Ram before (or along with) using the Paging File. So if there were additional Paging Files, maybe it would be less CPU intensive. I don't know if Bill measured CPU usage in his tests, with and without the extra paging file. Not talking about speed necessrily but CPU usage.
I do Defragment quite a bit even though it says 0% defragmented, and expecially after I have moved a bunch of files around. For each Project I keep everything in one folder, even exports, so that if I want to delete a project but keep the AVI, I don't have to look all over the computer to delete various parts of the project. I may change some of that procedure later, but works for now. My Scratch Discs are Same as Project, thanks.
Thanks for one TIP I believe Bill gave in another Post was to not store Projects? or video? on the Desktop, because it may have different characteristics (video editing problems?) than other storage folders. I thought that was interesting because I think people get used to putting stuff on the Desktop because it's easier than going to other folders. So now I just have Desktop Shortcuts to the folders I use all the time.
Don't know what Statically Managed means.

MSI Control Service is consuming the huge Paging file

Hi
I've newly installed WINDOWS 8.1 64bit ver 6.3 Build 9600 onto S99A Krait edition with Intel Core i7 5930k + 16G memory. After 1 weeks I've noticed some uncertain huge size usage of share memory and paging (10g-20G).
I've tryed stopping various services and processes. such paging usage was not decreased until I stopped MSICTL_CC (MSIControlService.exe). Apparenty the process MSIControlService.exe seems not using such a huge share memory and paging file or I cannnot find any suspicious symptom except for the many processess' handles of MSIControlService.exe.
MSI command center version is 1.0.0.94.
After I stopped MSICTL_CC, there is not such symptom of inceasing Huge paging file or Huge Memory usage.
What I want to know:
Is there any problem when MSI CTL_CC is not started?
Is there any possibility that this issue will be fixed?
Best Regards,

>What is your test configuration? where did you install your windows??

>>and then you will need shutdown your system for 1 day and then check again the MSISuperIOService.exe at Task Mananger and you could
see that the huge increase in the memory??
Physical Used memory is usual. Virtuall memory is getting Huge (cuurently 13G) while Physical used memory just
around 4G after 2 days restart of MSI control services.
the 2 process MSISuperIOService.exe and especially MSIcontrolService.exe have problems that the handles of Process (in task manager) is quite many comparing to the all other processes.
Currently
the number of Handles
MSIcontrolService.exe :198700
MSISuperIOService.exe:23183
MSIClockSerice.exe:8251
In Other processes' handle, the number of the handle of svchost.exe is just around 2500. This is the most except for the above three process at My PC.
>>Are you using the latest BIOS version?
Now using N20. It may be attached with S99A Klait edition. If it is old, there is no problem to upgrade. But this issue seems to be caused by application's matter. BIOS upgrade seems to be useless for this issue.

MSI GT60-0NC Paging File Size Help!

I'm having issues with my laptop (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html#/?div=Overview) after messing with the paging file settings. I'm wondering what the default values are for this particular laptop.
I'm not sure what it was before I started messing with it, but after I changed it my benchmark for 3d renderings (architectural visualizations done through maxwell render) have dropped more than significantly.
While rendering, my physical memory usage is about 95%, my CPU usage is only 4% (which should be between 70-90%), and my Disk usage is 100%. Disk usage must be my problem, because when I check the resource monitor my the system is writing about 10,000,000 B/sec to the pagefile, while maxwell is reading about 13,000,000 B/sec from the pagefile. This read / write of the pagefile keeps my disk usage at 100% throughout the render.
If I allow windows to "automatically manage the paging file size for all drives," it allocates 12288 to drive C: (OS) and none to the other drive in the RAID. Displayed at the bottom is "Minimum allowed: 16 MB; Recommended: 5107 MB; Currently allocated: 12288 MB"
What started the problem is when I went to manually manage the pagefile myself, and moved the paging file to the other RAID drive (D:), and ever since I haven't been able to render properly. I'm trying to isolate my problem, and this is the only significant change I made to this system since it was able to render correctly, other than removing it's ability to hibernate.
Anyone have any advice? My first step was to allow windows to automatically control the pagefile again, and its back on the C drive, but the problem still persists. I also did a system restore to a date before I made these changes, and that didn't help either.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Quote from: thaBadfish on 05-January-13, 03:22:34
Thanks for the response.
Both drives in my raid are HDD, and are set to defragment weekly. Defragmenter says it was last run today, and they are both 0% fragmented.
Update:
My issue ended up being a corrupt scene file (for the rendering program), which once I rewrote the scene the problem has disappeared. Disk usage is back to very low, and CPU usage is back to 100% where it should be during a rendering. Slowdown was associated with the corrupt file causing me to hit the limit of my physical memory, which caused the major slowdown in reading/writing massive amounts of overflow to the pagefile.
That's great. Atleast you know what the problem was and know how to solve it next time!

Windows no longer boots up, paging file error

I just reinstalled windows on my mac last week because until now I had been running the old beta version of boot camp.
Just a few days ago I started getting blue screens every so often and it happened again (twice to be exact) yesterday, however one of the times it booted up and informed me I might want to change my paging file size. Not quite sure what this was I went and found the paging file option in settings and found it was clicked on a set size...so I figured I'd set it on the option that lets windows decide for me hoping this would fix the blue screen problem.
I shut down my computer later that night and now windows won't get to the desktop.
When I start it up normally it runs the system check (which I cannot skip for some reason) which gets to 84% and then says \windows\Dump3865.tmp is cross-linked on allocation unit 1731772
Above it it mentions there is an invalid size for my page file.
I tried booting it up the in safe mode multiple times and every time it generates a list in dos and stops on windows\system32\Drivers\mup.sys
I really don't want to have to reload windows again. Is there anyway to skip the system check (it says press anykey, but that has never worked for me) or any other way to get my paging files back to the way they were?
Thank you.
Oh I'm running leopard with windows XP professional on a macbook pro (last years model) if that helps in anyway.

High Page Reads/Sec on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit running on VMware but very low Real Memory & Page file Usage.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on the description, we can try to download Server Performance Advisor (SPA) to help further analyze the performance of the server. SPA can generate comprehensive diagnostic reports and charts and provides recommendations to help you quickly analyze
issues and develop corrective actions.
Regarding this tool, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

ESE - Event Log Warning: 906 - A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file...

Hello -
We have 3 x EX2010 SP3 RU5 nodes in a cross-site DAG.
Multi-role servers with 18 GB RAM [increased from 16 GB in an attempt to clear this warning without success].
We run nightly backups on both nodes at the Primary Site.
Node 1 backup covers all mailbox databases [active & passive].
Node 2 backup covers the Public Folders database.
The backups for each database are timed so they do not overlap.
During each backup we get several of these event log warnings:
Log Name:      Application
Source:        ESE
Date:          23/04/2014 00:47:22
Event ID:      906
Task Category: Performance
Level:         Warning
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      EX1.xxx.com
Description:
Information Store (5012) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation.
See help link for complete details of possible causes.
Resident cache has fallen by 42523 buffers (or 27%) in the last 903 seconds.
Current Total Percent Resident: 26% (110122 of 421303 buffers)
We've rescheduled the backups and the warning message occurences just move with the backup schedules.
We're not aware of perceived end-user performance degradation, overnight backups in this time zone coincide with the business day for mailbox users in SEA.
I raised a call with the Microsoft Enterprise Support folks, they had a look at BPA output and from their diagnostics tool. We have enough RAM and no major issues detected.
They suggested McAfee AV could be the root of our problems, but we have v8.8 with EX2010 exceptions configured.
Backup software is Asigra V12.2 with latest hotfixes.
We're trying to clear up these warnings as they're throwing SCOM alerts and making a mess of availability reporting.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance

Having said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
This attribute should do it...

Customizing Paging File: what is the recommended initial and maximum size?

Hi everyone, and Harm,
Following Harm's response to my question about how to setup disks, Harm said this:
"disk allocation: It is a three stage process, first you define the boot order in the BIOS, then you format the disks inWindows and allocate drive letters, then still in Windows you setup the pagefile. Then the allocation of media cache, preview, project etc. is done in the preferences and project setup of PR."
and I have a question about paging file.
First let me say describe my new machine, it has a 4 disc setup, no RAID, 16GB RAM, with OCZ-Vertex3 for OS & Programs, i.e. i have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on this disc, and Web Premium CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9. In BIOS, i have made the OCZ (OS) disk, be the priority in the Boot order.
Later, after verifying the system is in working order, i will upgrade to Classic Collection CS5.5, so at this point, i have named my 3 additional disks as such,
WDC WD 2002FAEX-007BA0 - "Media Projects(D)"
WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Pagefile, Media Cache (E)"
WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Previews, Exports(F)"
So, for now these are simply names, which i have given to the various disks, and now i am changing the paging file, switching it from happening in the OS disk, in order to happen inthe disk which (via Premier, later) will be designated for Media Cache.
So, in Windows Performance Options pane, I went to Advanced tab, & under Virtual memory I hit "change", uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, select drive E, which is the disk that's to have the paging file happen in it.
And the question, assuming that i am supposed to select Custom size, can you Harm, or/and others, please recommend the Initial and Maximum sizes?
Or, should i select "System managed size"?
Thanks:)

Keep in mind Video/Animation applications use more ram now than almost any other type and there are far more memory hungry services running in the background as well. Consider the normal recommendations are for standard applications. HD material changed far more than just the need for 64Bit memory addressing.
