SQL Server, Windows Virtual memory and paging file location require some configuration changes to optimise perormance
On Windows 2008 ,there is an option to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
It’s the default configuration for Windows.
SQL Server doesn’t need the page file, but other Windows Services use the paging file.
In the event of a severe SQL Server crash – a paging file size of 2 GB is useful to capture a crash dump file.
200 MB is required for a Kernel dump
Pagefile = RAM for a complete dump
The pagefile performance steps I take are:
1) Ceate a dedicated drive on a local disk.
2) Uncheck the "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
3) Select "Custom size".
4) Set the appropriate value
5) The drive should be a dedicated drive and not on C:\ , assisting in decreasing pressure
