Server Image Copy relies on core Storage Mirroring to handle system memory. Storage
Mirroring uses system memory to store data in queues. Specify the maximum amount of system
memory to be used for the Storage Mirroring queues and click Next to continue. The default
setting is 128 MB. If you set it lower, Storage Mirroring will use less system memory, but you will
queue to disk sooner which may impact system performance. If you set it higher, Storage
Mirroring will maximize system performance by not queuing to disk as soon, but the system may
have to swap the memory to disk if the system memory is not available. In general, the amount
of memory Storage Mirroring and other applications on the server are configured to use should
be less than the amount of physical memory on the system to prevent low memory conditions.
11.
When the Storage Mirroring system memory queue is exhausted, Storage Mirroring will queue to
disk. Specify the size and location of the disk queue. By default, the disk space is set to
Unlimited which will allow the queue usage to automatically expand whenever the available
disk space expands. Click Next to continue.

Server Image Copy also relies on Storage Mirroring to handle security. The Storage Mirroring
security information screen appears next. Review this information and click Next to continue
with the installation.
