PLE on Numa Node 0 resets to 0 every 60secs
- Intermittently this causes “A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in a performance degradation….”
PLE on Numa Node 1 keeps growing as expected
- No problem
The Cluster Configuration
· 2 Server Node Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster
· 9 SQL clustered instances (ranging from SQL 2008 R2 - 2016)
· Each Server Node has 512GB of RAM (typically 300GB always available - every instance has Max Memory constrained)
· 2 Numa Nodes with 12 Core / node with HT enabled (total of 48CPUs)
Problem SQL Instance (RPT01)
· SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition (11.0.3000.0)
· Min Memory 0, Max Memory 8GB
· Lock Pages in Memory (LPiM)
· 3 user databases (total size less than 100MB)
· Very low usage
The following changes attempted in troubleshooting(without success)
1. Offlined user databases, stopped SQL Agent (i.e. stopped all known connections to instance)
2. Switched to other node and back again
3. Removed LPiM
4. Increased Max Memory from 8GB to 10GB
5. Cleared Buffer Pool & Cache repeatedly (DROPCLEANBUFFERS & FREEPROCCACHE)
