and why do you run a 32bit domino on a 64bit windows? Where is the sence of this???

Is Windows 2003 64 bit Domino 8.5 not ready for primetime yet?

What about Windows 2003 64 bit Domino 8.0.2? Are there any large customers doing it?

TIA,

Tim E. Brown

Daniel,

Is this only possible on Win64 system ? I mean this should also be possible on a Win32 system ? as it is possible to run your windows environement with the /3GB or the /4GT switch. Which makes it possible to address more space to the user Space of a process.

Which suggests that using one of these 2 switches (Win2000 or Win2003) wouyld allow you to upscale your use of Shared Memory to Domino on older platforms as well ?

@1 I have recently encountered one such instance: 32bit Domino on 64bit Windows 2003R2 is required by BES. Installing 64bit Domino is is unsupported and will fail the BES install.

I think that sametime is not migrated to x64... so that's why you will need to run Domino x86 in an x64 computer.

Also most of the antivirus vendors did not yet migrate to x64 or they migrated to it but they didn't fully test it.

@Matthias, sorry for the late reply but I unread marks did not work because of the blocked spam posts ...

You gain 2 GB of memory using 64bit windows because this allows to use the full 32bit address space for the application instead of 2GB for application and 2GB for system on 32bit.

There are ways to allow more memory on Win32 like /3GB witch but those do not give more performance because they sort of emulate the bigger address space.

You really need to run on a 64bit. Windows is the last platform that moves to 64Bit OS. AIX, Solaris and Linux are alread there. And iSeries already runs with a larger address space for a long time also native for the Domino application.

So you get 90% of the benefits right now form switching to a 64Bit Windows OS and there is currently no need to run Domino 64bit native for most environment.

it only makes sense on extreme alrge HTTP or Mail-Servers with a large local process memory needed.

@sjaak, all the ways to allow more memory on a 32bit OS like /3GB and PAE are like a hack. I would not use /3GB at all. PAE works better and there is a whitepaper for Notes on Citrix mentioned earlier in my blog that does test a 32Bit Citrix Server with PAE to allow more memory.

But sitll the right way to go for a Domino server is 64Bit.

What about Domino R7? Can we use the same parameter?

Hello

Is there as way of allocating more memory on a Windows 2012 R2 box for Domino 64 server bit running 9.01?

On Domino 64 you don't have those kind of limitations. The pointers used are 64bit.
