  • licence is Core based .. we have 16 logiceal cpu but sql is using only 4 . how to fix it

  • What is maxdop set to?

    Are you using resource governor?

    Have you set processor affinity?

    just to verify how many CPUs SQL Server is recognizing,what does query below return?

    SELECT cpu_count,hyperthread_ratio,scheduler_count

    FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info

    you can also check the error log from when sql server was started for a message similar to this

    Detected 4 CPUs. This is an informational message; no user action is required.

  • the above querry shows only available Cpu online as 4 only ..

    Hi Gail

    in the error message it shows..

    16 processors with 16 core is detected ..sql is 4 cpu only , this is informational message

  • i found out that

    actually VM is configure as 1 core per CPU hence 16 core 16 cpu

    And std edition suooprts 4 cpu only .. hence we need to reconfigure 1 cpu = 4 core ..

    That what i learned from googeling some websites.

    Thanks
