Using Windows page files with the IO Accelerator 64
Verifying page file operation
To verify that a page file is actively placed on an IO Accelerator, you can browse for hidden files at the drive
root. For example, run the following command at a prompt:
dir c: /ah
In the output listing there should be a file called pagefile.sys. If no page file is present, recheck the page
file configuration in the Virtual Memory dialog box to verify that page file support has been enabled on the
queried IO Accelerator.
Virtual Memory performance
Using the IO Accelerator as the paging store can improve overall Virtual Memory system performance.
Actual benefits will vary widely with the application virtual memory usage and with hardware platform and
performance.
