    A/A clusters are a good way to maximize hardware investment. One thing I advise my clients is to have a monitoring agent of some flavor trigger on a failover and automatically adjust the sql server max memory on BOTH systems to an appropriate value that totals to the amount an indivitual machine should take on the given hardware. This will avoid memory contention problems. I also advise being cautious with Lock Pages in Memory setting on these servers for same reason.

    Kevin, what type of monitoring agents are these that will automatically adjust the sql server max memory?
