We managed to work out getting a pair of two two gigabyte disks to replace two
ra92's for our set of "system" packs.  By system packs, in this case, I mean
where we put the layered products, page files, etc.  As opposed to user data
:-).  So, for the first time in a while, we can make our page files bigger. 
And contiguous.  WHat guidelines do others use for determining the proper size
for pagefiles?  As we don't have a defragmentor the problem we've run into in
the past is that if we make them too small we are not later able to make them
contiguous until we can do an image backup and restore (almost never
unfortunately).  Currently we have two 100,000 block page files each for our 
6420 and 6520, and this is a tad small.  Another thing I've never seen 
guidelines on is number of page files.  Does it do any good to put multiple 
page files for one system on one disk?  If we have multiple page files per 
system on several disks, but those pagefiles are on the same disks as the 
pagefiles for other systems, isn't that just as bad?

We're on 5.5 on our cluster.
