windows - SQL Server 2008 enterprise setup and virtual memory -


Hi, we have a server with 32 cores and 256 GB RAM, we are using it with SQL. Server 2008 Enterprise on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise

At present Windows has automatically assigned a swap file of 256 GB which seems highly. Is it advisable to do something like 32 GB to force the swapfile to use the physical ram to the hard boundary?

Is this a swap file or is it a hibernate file?

The answer is expected to work on the machine depending on the job. You feel that the Windows swap file does not touch much because you have enough physical memory available. There will be an approach to cut swap file allocation in half, then make sure that it is still running fine, then use inbuilt performance monitoring tools, then again see half swap allocation after the steady period.

But is this really a problem? With a machine like you probably have a good part of the hard drive space, and I suspect that they will be slow old 5400 RPM drives :)
