Running out of memory

  • Hello, I have 24 GB RAM and physical memory= I ran info from select * from sys.dm_os_sys_info

    25759105024 in bytes and virtual memory 12883918848 in bytes, also I checked under server memory option 24566 (MB). Is this correct we are running out of memory?

    also, I have

    Total avail mem, KB Max free size, KB

    8564015732 8558307584

    Thank you

  • Hi

    Don't configure SQL Servers max memory allocation for maximum (or higher) memory of your box. If you have 24GB physical memory you should configure SQL Server for a maximum of say 20GB. Otherwise SQL Server will take all the memory and leave nothing to your OS.

  • I want to know if

    my SQL Server is not running out of available process memory. Probably we hit that memory which is allocated to the SQL Server.

    How can I check and what I should do?

    Thank you

  • Check this counter ..

    Total Server Memory (KB) to see if SQL Server is hitting that Max Mark.

    Thank You,

  • Where should I check?

  • Use this for that task..

    SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters

    WHERE counter_name IN ('Total Server Memory (KB)')

    Thank You,

  • I ran it

    SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters

    WHERE counter_name IN ('Total Server Memory (KB)')

    but get no results back, but on my other server I got results.

    What is the reason?

  • Does that table have a LOB? What is LOB?

    Thank you

  • How different are the servers ?

    Do you have SQL Server 2000 instance ?

    Thank You,

  • This SQL server 2005

  • How many instances do you have on the server ?

    Do you have any Named Instances installed ?

    Thank You,
