Reviewing the server configuration information

To review the server configuration information in an AMRepU output file:

View the creation date and time of the CAB file. For the memory usage statistics, it is important that the CAB file was created during business hours when typical activity occurs.
Locate and open the CAB file generated by AMRepU with WinZIP or a similar program.
Locate and open the System Information.txt file and review the recommendations in the following table.

Server configuration recommendations
Data	Recommendation
Total physical memory	The amount should meet the requirements listed in Understanding system requirements for the Meridian server.
Available physical memory	There should be at least 300 MB of available physical memory during normal use. If there is less than 100 MB available when server performance is slow, the problem may be a lack of available memory. See Optimizing the server operating system
Available free disk space	Each disk should have at least 15% free.
File system type	The drive where the vault-related data is stored should be NTFS.

Locate and open the LM_Cyco.txt file and review the recommendations in the following table. This file contains the contents of the Cyco branch of the local machine registry hive.

Registry value recommendations
Setting	Recommendation
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ <Version>\PatchLevel	We are continuously improving product performance. Check that the latest version of the software is installed.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\File System\Parameters\TemporaryLocation	Should point to a local NTFS drive with enough free disk space.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\HyperTrieve\BatchCallThreshold	By default, this setting is 1F4h (500 decimal). See Configuring the BatchCallThreshold setting.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\DefaultDataStore	Should point to an existing vault, preferably the most used one.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<vaultname>\ CompoundItemService\MaximumCacheSize	The value should always be lower than the amount of physical memory. See Configuring the MaximumCacheSize setting.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<vaultname>\ CompoundItemService\RelativeCacheSize	The default value is 46h (70 decimal). See Configuring the RelativeCacheSize setting.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<vaultname>\ CompoundItemService\TraceOn	Should be 0 at all times.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<vaultname>\ CompoundItemService\TraceName	Should be empty at all times.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<vaultname>\ StreamService\RootPath	Should point to a local NTFS disk or high-performance connection to another data storage device.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\ AutoManager Meridian\ CurrentVersion\OML\UserGroupCacheTimeout	Understanding the effects of the CPU

Locate and open the LM_services.txt file. This file contains a listing of all services that are installed on the server. Review this file for any resource-intensive services. Suspicious services can include virus scanners, server management scanning tools, other server applications such as Exchange, Lotus Notes, and so on, or installable file systems.
Locate and open the Drivers.txt file. This file contains a listing of all device drivers that are installed on the server. Review this file for any resource-intensive drivers.
