Team,
I am looking for the TSQL to get the below details.
1)Total memory allocated in the windows machine where a sqlserver instances are installed.
2)Total memory allocated to each sqlserver instances in the machine.
3)Current memory used by the perticular instance.
4)History of memory usage by the instance.
I checked many of the sites and couldn't get the accurate value for the above.Could anyone help me in getting the above values ,so i can really confirm and implement the memory setting accuratly.
Thanks in advance.

1) Total memory allocated in the windows machine where a sqlserver instances are installed.
-- Check for teh system info.
2) Total memory allocated to each sqlserver instances in the machine.
-- Check server properties.
3) Current memory used by the perticular instance.
-- Memory is dynamically allocated and withdrwan based on the activity and many other factors.
you need to traceout for a whole day memory usage and check for max used on a day.
4)History of memory usage by the instance.
-- If you are using sql 2005 or 2008 , you could check on instance resports--> memory consumption report

Thanks for the reply.
I am just having sqlserver instance level access and i dont have access to the node.Hence is there anyway to get the details with TSQL itself:
1) Total memory allocated in the windows machine where a sqlserver instances are installed.
-- Check for teh system info.---Any TSQL to get the value
2) Total memory allocated to each sqlserver instances in the machine.
-- Check server properties.---Do you mean to say max and min memory?
Appriciate your help.

You can use the sys.dm_os_memory_clerks dynamic management view (DMV) to get detailed information about memory allocation by the server components in SQL Server 2005 and 2008. Some of the DMVs provide similar data as the DBCC MEMORYSTATUS command, but their output is much more programmer friendly.
You can also use the following DMVs for memory troubleshooting both in SQL Server 2005 and 2008:
•sys.dm_exec_cached_plans
•sys.dm_exec_query_memory_grants
•sys.dm_exec_query_resource_semaphores
•sys.dm_exec_requests
•sys.dm_exec_sessions
•sys.dm_os_memory_cache_entries
There are several new DMVs in SQL Server 2008 which make us easier to gather memory diagnosis information. Below is a summary of these new DMVs for memory troubleshooting:
•sys.dm_os_memory_brokers provides information about memory allocations using the internal SQL Server memory manager. The information provided can be useful in determining very large memory consumers.
•sys.dm_os_memory_nodes and sys.dm_os_memory_node_access_stats provide summary information of the memory allocations per memory node and node access statistics grouped by the type of the page. This information can be used instead of running DBCC MEMORYSTATUS to quickly obtain summary memory usage. (sys.dm_os_memory_node_access_stats is populated under dynamic trace flag 842 due to its performance impact.)
•sys.dm_os_nodes provides information about CPU node configuration for SQL Server. This DMV also reflects software NUMA (soft-NUMA) configuration.
•sys.dm_os_sys_memory returns the system memory information. The ‘Available physical memory is low’ value in the system_memory_state_desc column is a sign of external memory pressure that requires further analysis.
