#TROUBLESHOOTING SQL SERVER ON MAC OS 32 BIT#

That is why it is very important to configure MAX server setting for SQL Server instance leaving enough memory for OS to work smoothly. This can happen if you have not given enough memory for OS to work. When Windows OS requests for memory then SQL gives it back in non-preemptive mode and that too in huge amounts and then proceed to build it back again to the maximum amount. So вЂњBuffer poolвЂќ and вЂњReserved memoryвЂќ contributes to total memory consumed by SQL Server.Дefault memory setting during installationВ of SQL Server is for it to use all of the available memory.

#TROUBLESHOOTING SQL SERVER ON MAC OS 32 BIT#

In 32 bit system, there is some memory which is allocated outside buffer pool and is allocated during system start up and is referred to as Reserved memory aka memory to leave. SQL Server used Buffer pool to efficiently manage memory requests for SQL Server processes and is one of the massive consumers of memory for SQL Server. It acts like a memory hog and will hold on all the memory we have allocated to it, even if it is not using it. SQL Server uses as much memory as it can to improve performance by caching data into memory so that it can avoid reading from disk.

Usually, on SQL Server machine we can see that memory used is highВ while CPU and disk usage is low, which is what we expect on SQL Server machine.

A memory bottleneck can lead to excessive paging that ultimately impacts performance Once in a while, most of SQL Server DBA/developer might have encountered an issue where SQL Server host is using almost all memory and CPU when checked in Windows Task Manager.
