SQL Server Memory Problem

  • Dear all,

    It has been a long time i am studying about SQL server memory and i think i know a bit about that.

    We have a SQL Server installed on RAID 5 with 32 GB RAM and 4 CPU. SQL Server EM SP4

    My problem is i had configured SQL Server for dynamic memory allocation and enabled AWE.

    Boot .ini is configured to use RAM not defined the Limit.

    Now the problem is that when i check the performance of SQL server through Windows Performance Monitor.

    The 2 counter SQL Server :Memory Manager : Total Server Memory and

                        SQL Server : Memoery Manager:Target Server Memory  Gives the same value .

    The server should not give the same value for the 2 counter because there is 32 GB of RAM then why SQL server is looking for more memory.

    as there is too much ram is free.

  • You need to modify boot.ini to include /PAE switch and then enable MAX Server Memory in SQL Server. Shutdown SQL Service and restrat it.

    You need to modify boot.ini by /PAE switch
