Hello!

This is a follow up to my previous post:
'
We have just configured SQL Server 2005 64-bit two node active/passive cluster with 32 GB of RAM. I have limited SQL Server memory usage to 26 GB. Total Server Memory (KB) shows value 16MB at the moment. Target Server Memory (KB) is showing 27262976 (26 GB).
...'.
I have noticed that there are multiple messages (not just on start up) in SQL Server error log:

'Message
A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in a performance degradation. Duration: 331 seconds. Working set (KB): 95276, committed (KB): 204776, memory utilization: 46%.
'.

We are running SQL Server 2005 SP2 64-bit Standard Edition on Windows 2003 Enterprise R2 64-bit and 'Lock Pages in Memory' is ignored.
I did some research and the general consensus is if this error only shows up on start up it is OK. But it is not the case in my enviroment. I am really concerned about performance implications and hesitant to start using this enviroment.
Any advice is greately appreciated.

Thanks,
Igor

Enable 'Lock pages in Memory' and you should be good.
