I am struggling to get SQL 2008 Std 64-bit running in an acceptable manner on Server 2008 Enterprise prior to loading my user databases. I have 16 GB of RAM installed, but as soon as I start the SQL Server service I get the following message written to the SQL Server logs.
“A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in a performance degradation. Duration: 0 seconds. Working set (KB): 54120, committed (KB): 113336, memory utilization: 47%.”
I have been through a ton of articles talking about locking pages into memory, applying hotfixes, disabling TCP chimmney stack enhancements, setting LargeSystemCache registry values, and updating Broadcom NIC drivers.
None of it has helped, and given that this is a brand new installation with no users, I really do not see why these "hacks" are needed. Am I missing something?
