Hello,
I have a client who is experiencing some performance issues so I'm just reviewing the memory parameters/allocations.
Environment is Windows/SQL.
The box has 8GB of physical memory with 24GB of virtual memory.
em/initial_size_MB is set to 10GB.
I have in the back of my mind that em/initial_size_MB should not be greater than the amount of physical memory. Is that correct? And if it's set to a higher value, what issues could it cause?
Many thanks.
