Please use Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2 32 bit if you plan to use Windows Server 2003 as CCBoot server system platform.
Please use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit if you plan to use Windows 7 as CCBoot server system platform.
Please use Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64 bit if you plan to use Windows 2008 as CCBoot server system platform.
1. All hard disks should be formatted as NTFS. When format drives, please set "Allocation unit size" as "Default" for server OS system drive, and set "Allocation unit size" as "32K" for other drives.
2. Allocate hard disks for image, game (raid 0) and write back (2-3 hard disks). If you have an SSD disk, please format it into only one partition for cache. How to allocation hard disks? Please refer to Server Hardware Requirements.
3. If you haven't installed SuperCache on the server, please click to select "Enable System Write Cache" in the settings of CCBoot server.
4. If you are using Windows 7 or 2008 as server OS, please make sure you have enabled the "Enable write caching on the device" for every disk.
5. Make sure that there is no other DHCP services on the LAN. Especially, please disable the DHCP service in the router.
How to do "Enable write caching on the device" on disk?
1) Click Start, right-click Computer and select Manage.
2) In the left panel, click Device Manager.
3) Expand Disk Drives and right-click on one of the disks.
4) Click the Policies tab and check "Enable Write Caching on the device" to enable. (it’s a default setting of Windows 7)
5) To further improve the disk performance (needless to say, higher the risk now), check the box "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device".
6) Press "OK" to save. (Figure 1-1)
7) Implement step 3 - 6 for other disks.
