Page files are temporary files that Windows uses to store data that does not fit in the physical
memory. Page files can interfere with the registration of a database server VM with NDB, as they can
cause errors or performance issues. Therefore, page files should be located in a separate drive or
partition from the C:\ drive, where the NDB agent and other files are installed. System, database, and
backup files do not prevent the registration of a database server VM with NDB, as long as they are
not corrupted or incompatible with the NDB requirements. Reference::
