How to change configurations for both active and passive nodes in sql server 2005 2 node cluster.

  • Hi All,

    We need to change max memory config for both active and passive nodes in sql server 2005 2 node cluster.

    What are the correct steps to follow ? Kindly advise.

  • You don't have to change it in the passive node. Just change it in the active node and the setting will be preserved when you fail over the instance to the passive node.

    To change max server memory:

    EXEC sp_configure 'advanced', 1

    RECONFIGURE

    GO

    EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory (MB)', 4096 -- this is 4GB, change it to an appropriate value

    RECONFIGURE

    GO

    -- Gianluca Sartori

  • Thank you very much.!

    So a failover is essential is it ?

    We will failover and then faiolver back once again as we need the current node as active.

    Thanks once again.

    No need to do that. Change it on the active node. Period.

    It's a SQL Server setting that travels with the instance when you fail it over to the passive node.
