SQL Server Memory

  • Hi

    I have a cluster which has a allocation of 4 gigs of memory on the box ( First node)

    Operating system windows 2000

    SQL 2000 enterprise edition

    There cluster software is veritas

    The memory allocation is dynamically min 320 - max 3260 SQL only sees 3840

    IN task manager i see that the memory usage is about 1.7 Gigs

    In perfmon it is almost the same

    I have enabled the AWE in SQL to see if it will increase

    MY database is highly intensive with stored procedures , i am getting high buffer cache and memory cache

    I have recomplied the stored procedures

    I would like to know if the AWE setting will work on the requried specification? Will i See more memory allocated to SQL ?

     

     

  • It worked the memory for sql has increased  to 3.1 gigs on sql through performance monitor

  • Enable the /3GB switch in boot.ini

  • If the option AWE is enabled . Do you still need to enable it in the boot.ini file
