ABSTRACT:
A technique for configuring a server computer using an optimizer program to achieve optimal performance of the server based on the server types supported by the server. Configuration may involve both calculating server configuration parameters and deciding where to place various files used by the server. In order to decide where to place files, the hardware and software characteristics of the server disk drives are analyzed, and a performance table is generated. The disk drive performance data is then input into a series of algorithms of varying complexity to determine the drives where database files should be stored. Information regarding server utilization, the number of host users and the number of users in the organization is received from an administrator. The administrator input is used to calculate configuration parameters. The optimizer program may automatically adjust a plurality of registry parameters, and may automatically move one or more database and log files to the appropriate disk drives. Alternately, the administrator may be prompted to authorize the changes. The optimizer program may also save the changed parameters and locations to a registry log file.
