• Could you clarify the Maximum Server Memory formula?
    My VM's for sql server run with a minimum of 48gb.
    If I follow your recommendation, I would be taking 9gb away from sql server.
    Usually I reserve 4-5gb for the OS.
    Also, using your recommendation for my one server that has 96gb, I would need to reserve 15gb for the OS.
    Why?
