Here we go again. So nice new DL585 G2. Slapped Exchange 2003 on SP2 and few other fixes and then started noticing there:
Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: Application PopupEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 333Description:An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry.
Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: SrvEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 2019Computer: GBRPSMMSWM06NADescription:The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the pool was empty.
I have /3g /userva:3030.
When you open task manager, Nonpaged is 96512!
This is Windows 2003 Ent with SP2 .. any ideas?
Non-paged pool isses, huh? We see this ALL the time in PSS. A couple things you can do.
1. Swap the video driver for the standard VGA one. Or put the /BASEVIDEO switch into the boot.ini.
2. Turn off TCP Chimneying. This is a "known" cause of Non-paged pool depletion, especially when combined with a Broadcom-based NIC (which HP uses almost exclusively). The easiest way to disable all these features is in the registry
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters. Set EnableTCPA, EnableRSS, and TCPChimney all to 0 (default value is 1), then reboot. Odds are with these two changes, your NPP will be closer to 60mb instead of 96.
