Default About Upgrade RAM on SQL 2000 Cluster - 09-14-2004 , 05:11 AM






Hi all,

i must upgrade the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB on the Windows 2000 ADV Cluster A/P
on both node. There is any problem with the cluster service or SQL to do it
?
May i do it first on the passive node , swith istance on the passive (now
active) node and upgrade the passive node (previous active) !?!?!
After i upgrade the RAM may i set a /3g swith i boot.ini for permit SQL
Server to use 3 GB RAM ?

There is any SQL configuration after upgrade the RAM ?

Thanks in advance

That's pretty much how it's done. There should be no SQL Server
configuration required, unless you had previously set the max memory.

I meant within SQL Server. Check out sp_configure in the BOL.

Just use the defaults and SQL Server will use up to 3GB - if you have the
/3GB switch in the BOOT.INI.
