How to setup a minimal Domino server
by Volker Weber
I have had Domino servers running in 64, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 1024 and 2048 meg of RAM. It seems to pretty much eat up whatever it gets, at least in the smaller machines with less than 512 megs. Since my own server serves only one person, I am wondering which settings one should tweak to make it use the least amount of ressources it can possibly live with. There are lots of others things my server can do besides running Domino.
On of the suggestions I read is to set the notes.ini parameter PercentAvailSysResources. Does that still work with Domino 6?
Update: After chatting with Daniel I issued a "show stat mem" command at the console and I can confirm that the parameter still works.

Hallo Volker,
für die Einstellungen der Memory Sizes gibt es die folgenden Parameter
ConstrainedSHM=1 - > dadurch nimmt Domino "nur" 2 GB Speicher auf Win32 bzw. 3GB bei Solaris statt 4GB Speicher in Beschlag
ConstrainedSHMSizeMB="size in megabytes" -> dieser Parameter beschränkt den Domino Server auf die angegebene Speicheranzahl
Der Paramter "PercentAvailSysResources" (seit 5.04) ist in der Regel nur bei der Verwendung von partitionierten Servern sinnvoll um die Anzahl des für den Domino Server verfügbaren Speichers zu definieren. Der Wert ist ein %-Wert bis maximal 100.
Damit kannst man in der notes.ini des Servers genau definieren wieviel % des für den Domino Server insgesamt verfügbaren Speichers dem jeweiligen Server zur Verfügung gestellt werden.
Die genannten Parameter spielen daher wie folgt zusammen
Bei einem System mit 10 GB RAM ->
ConstrainedSHM=1
ConstrainedSHMSizeMB="2048"
Damit stehen dem Domino Server nur 2 GB von den verfügbaren 10 GB zur Verfügung.
Der Wert PercentAvailSysResources=10 würde nun diesem Domino Server ca 200 MB RAM zur Verfügung stellen, bei einem Wert PercentAvailSysResources=60 wären das dann ca 1.200 MB für diesen Server
Hi Volker,
I enjoy your site. What sort of domino setup do you have? I am a Notes developer and have been meaning to set up a server at home, but wasn't sure what I needed. Know of any help-sites for this sort of thing? For example, I'm not sure if I need Win2k or NT, or if I can use XP Pro/Home. Memory requirements? Or if/how I can run the server and a client at the same time, etc. Thanks-
