Default Memory configuration for sql server 2000 active/passive cluster - 01-10-2008 , 02:03 AM






Dear All,

We are installating an acive/passive sql server 2000 cluster. One of my
friend recommended to configure the max server memory as total server memory
- 256. When I asked him why, he said it will prevent SQL Serer 2000 from
using all the available memory on the server and it will help the operating
system to failover the sql server to secondary node smoothly when there is a
trouble.

Can I follow this recommendation.

Regards
Balaji

Hi
What is your total memory? For example we have one cluster server with 8GB,
so we configured 6GB for SQL Server and 2GB for OS. You have to test it by
yourself.
