    Instance is under memory pressure. How to relieve it from pressure

    You need to start by asking a question. This is so incredibly vague there is no possibility of an answer.

    Instance is under memory pressure. How to relieve it from pressure

    How have you determined that there is a memory pressure, what are the specs of the server, what's running on the server, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

    Instance is under memory pressure. How to relieve it from pressure

    The two most common causes of this are 1) Not enough memory to begin with and 2) a whole lot of bad code.

    Let's start with #1.  How much memory has been assigned to the instance, how much has been setup for Max Memory in SQL, and how much memory has been reserved for the Operating System?  Also, has the memory been "thin provisioned" through a VM or is it permanently provisioned?

    Care to provide specifics?  This would include the configuration of the server or VM, of SQL Server, any other applications or services running on the server/VM.  You know, the things everyone else has already asked you to provide.

  • We are back to you needing to ask a question. What that means is you need to provide enough details of your situation that others have a chance at helping you.

We don't even know what those values are. Keep in mind we can't see your screen, have no idea what your architecture or hardware is like.

    Cool.

    Low PLE is not enough of a measure. What do you consider to be LOW? When is it low?

    Is the memory cycling from highmem avialable to lowmem available on a constant basis?

    How is the windows OS behaving? Is it showing signs of memory pressure?

    From the information provided so far, you have listed a symptom that may not indicate an issue or even be related to a problem at all.

    Instance is under memory pressure. How to relieve it from pressure

    The two most common causes of this are 1) Not enough memory to begin with and 2) a whole lot of bad code.

    Let's start with #1.  How much memory has been assigned to the instance, how much has been setup for Max Memory in SQL, and how much memory has been reserved for the Operating System?  Also, has the memory been "thin provisioned" through a VM or is it permanently provisioned?

    While I agree that the question is a bit vague, we can still work on it.  We first need answers to my questions above.

  • I believe the real answer to this question is that the user is running maintenance on the instance (based on the "5-day checkdb" thread recently posted). This will cause the observed symptoms.

    That would certainly do it.
