Well I bet you did not. I did. And to my surprise Windows 2012R2 tells me that a system disk of 300 GB is not enough. Ough! WTF!
Yip, someone in the installation team of Windows Server made an stupid error: he/she puts in place the option that the swap file is automatically managed by Windows and did not put any limit or warning when a system has an exceptional amount of memory.
So following the standard Windows rules for a swap file it searches for a disk that has 1,5 * 1,5 TB of disk space available. Yes! That is really stupid!
So what you have to do is get the memory out of the machine and install the OS with for example 256 GB of memory. After the installation is finished you can add the 1,5 TB of memory again.
With our ATOS Bullion S line servers that is really easy because the memory is hot swappable if the OS supports it. Fully certified for Windows 2012R2 !
Scalable servers
