Preston, Did you see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q266096
The "trick" here is that you have to have Windows 2000 Advanced Server, to use the 3 Gb switch if you run Exchange 2000 with more than 1 Gb of RAM. Which version of W2K are you running? Thanks Rob -----Original Message----- From: Preston Jeffares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 February 2002 19:15 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Event ID 9582 - Fragmented VM. O.K. folks... I've bee scavenging for information on this for quite a while. I've gotten all the basic information. I know what the error is. I know theoretically what causes it. I have seen 2 possible fixes (sp1 and /3GB switch in boot.ini). I can not get the damn error to go away. Here's what I've got: Exchange 2000 sp2 Antigen Quad Xeon 700 3 gigs of ram Mirrored OS/Pagefile Array (page file is min 4096 max 4096) Mirrored Log Array Raid 5 DB Array Store.exe is used 900 megs of memory (yes i know store.exe will use as much as it wants)... that's fine because I've got 3 gigs total... 2 gigs are still free at any given moment. Performance Monitor shows the following in the Exchange IS category: VM Largest Block Size: 31,576,064 (this is whats springing the error I supposed because it's below 32MB) VM Total 16 MB Free Blocks: 1 VM Total Free Blocks: 295 VM Total Large Free Block Bytes: 31,576,064 O.K. so the question is... how in the hell do I resolve this? I've been getting the error forever now with no obvious problems... but now I'm starting to see some strange behavior and I want to clean pu anything I can. Through my research I've seen alot of people getting this... but no real resolutions.
