Hi,
Three questions hope you can answer:
1) I know it is best practise to set sql server max memory in sql server db engine.
So if a SQL server with 44 GB RAM has DB engine installed we should set sql server max memory to approx 37GB
But what should we set if next to the DB engine also SQL Analysis Service and SQL Reporting Services is installed on the same sql server?
Is it then better to set sql max memory to 22GB RAM so Analysis can take the other 22GB RAM?
2) A sql server with 44 GB RAM what is best practise to set the page file?
I read on Brent Ozar (http://www.brentozar.com/archive/2014/06/sql-server-setup-checklist-free-ebook-download/) the following
sql server doest not need a giant page file. if you're installing other applications on the server (which we don't recommend-- sql server should be isolated). you mad need a larger page file.
if sql server is the only major service running on the box, we typicalle create a 2GB size page file on the system drive.
Microsoft says we should set page file system managed to 1.5x the RAM
Remus also says we should set page file to 1.5x RAM (see -> http://rusanu.com/2009/11/22/system-pagefile-size-on-machines-with-large-ram/)
So on our sql server with 44GB RAM we have DB engine installed next to SQL Analysis Service and SQL Reporting Services, What size should we set the page file?
3) For sharepoint the sql server that is part of sharepoint farm and where sharepoint stores it's databases , max degree of parallelism should be set on 1.
Now we have a sql server that is not part of the sharepoint farm (call it sql2) on this server we have sql db engine, sql analysis and reporting installed.
sharepoint does not stores it databases on this sql2 server , on this sql2 server we have reporting and analysis databases/cubes created where sharepoint reads and writes to.

Rule of thumb: set this to the number of physical cores in a single numa node (processor) sockets on your hardware or less
What should we configure on this sql server for max degree of parallelism , the sql2 has 4 vcpus.
