• If Total Memory >= Target Memory ------> Represents Memory Pressure

    Total Memory < Target Memory ------> Represents No pressure.

    So Instance 4 is not experiencing any mem pressures. But the other 3 are experiencing Mem Pressure.

    But if you read the book "professional-sql-server-2008-internals-and-troubleshooting"

    The memory pressure is explained the other way..from the book

    MSSQL$<instance >:Memory Manager\Total Server Memory (KB): This indicates the current

    size of the buffer pool.

    MSSQL$<instance >:Memory Manager\Target Server Memory (KB): This indicates the ideal

    size for the buffer pool. Total and Target should be almost the same on a server with no

    memory pressure that has been running for a while. If Total is significantly less than Target,

    then it’s likely that SQL Server cannot grow the buffer pool due to memory pressure, in

    which case you can investigate further

    So I just want to know which one is correct;-)

    Thanks
