Function Set-DbaMaxMemory { <# .SYNOPSIS Sets SQL Server 'Max Server Memory' configuration setting to a new value then displays information this setting. .DESCRIPTION Sets SQL Server max memory then displays information relating to SQL Server Max Memory configuration settings. Inspired by Jonathan Kehayias's post about SQL Server Max memory (http://bit.ly/sqlmemcalc), this uses a formula to determine the default optimum RAM to use, then sets the SQL max value to that number. Jonathan notes that the formula used provides a *general recommendation* that doesn't account for everything that may be going on in your specific environment. .PARAMETER SqlInstance Allows you to specify a comma separated list of servers to query. .PARAMETER MaxMB Specifies the max megabytes .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER Collection Results of Get-DbaMaxMemory to be passed into the command .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet. .EXAMPLE Set-DbaMaxMemory sqlserver1 Set max memory to the recommended MB on just one server named "sqlserver1" .EXAMPLE Set-DbaMaxMemory -SqlInstance sqlserver1 -MaxMB 2048 Explicitly max memory to 2048 MB on just one server, "sqlserver1" .EXAMPLE Get-DbaRegisteredServer -SqlInstance sqlserver | Test-DbaMaxMemory | Where-Object { $_.SqlMaxMB -gt $_.TotalMB } | Set-DbaMaxMemory Find all servers in SQL Server Central Management server that have Max SQL memory set to higher than the total memory of the server (think 2147483647), then pipe those to Set-DbaMaxMemory and use the default recommendation. .NOTES Tags: dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2016 Chrissy LeMaire License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .LINK https://dbatools.io/Set-DbaMaxMemory #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = 'Medium')] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer", "SqlServers", "ComputerName")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Alias("Credential")] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Parameter(Position = 1)] [int]$MaxMB, [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $True)] [object]$Collection, [switch][Alias('Silent')]$EnableException ) process { if ((Test-Bound -Not -Parameter SqlInstance) -and (Test-Bound -Not -Parameter Collection)) { Stop-Function -Category InvalidArgument -Message "You must specify a server list source using -SqlInstance or you can pipe results from Test-DbaMaxMemory" return } if ($MaxMB -eq 0) { $UseRecommended = $true } if ((Test-Bound -Not -Parameter Collection)) { $Collection = Test-DbaMaxMemory -SqlInstance $sqlinstance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } # We ignore errors, because this will error if we pass the same collection items twice. # Given that it is an engine internal command, there is no other plausible error it could encounter. $Collection | Add-Member -Force -NotePropertyName OldMaxValue -NotePropertyValue 0 -ErrorAction Ignore foreach ($currentserver in $Collection) { if ($currentserver.server -eq $null) { $currentserver = Test-DbaMaxMemory -SqlInstance $currentserver $currentserver | Add-Member -Force -NotePropertyName OldMaxValue -NotePropertyValue 0 } Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Attempting to connect to $server" try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $currentserver.server -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Can't connect to $server or access denied.
