Home Forums SQL Server 2012 SQL 2012 - General Error 30063 - SQL Server could not set fdhost.exe process to 65535 because the value is not valid. RE: Error 30063 - SQL Server could not set fdhost.exe process to 65535 because the value is not valid.

  • I can confirm the following link fixed the issue for us :

    http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04650594&sp4ts.oid=5379860

    Changing the System ROM BIOS option from Clustered to Flat for the NUMA Group Size Optimization allowed Windows to see all 40 logical processors in one Windows Processor Group and in turn stopped the warning message appearing in the Error Logs.

    SQL Server now correctly sees this logical CPU's as NumNode0 - CPU0 to CPU19 and NumNode1 - CPU20 to CPU39

    Obviously this only applies to HP ProLiant Gen9 server configured with an Intel Xeon E5 2600v3 processor

    Hope the info helps
