I have a couple of questions regarding resource governor:
1. Do the resource governor settings override the SQL 'max server memory' settings?
For example, if I configured OLTP resource pool (0 to 50 %) and Reporting resource pool (0 to 30%), does it mean I am allocating 80% of the server's total physical memory or does it mean it occupies 50% and 30% of the already allocated 'max server memory' that is dedicated to SQL Instance. I am trying to understand if these chunks of % are taken out of total physical memory or off the already capped off 'max server memory' of the SQL Instance.
2. Can one resource pool utilize the memory allocated to another resource pool?
For example if there is a need of 20% memory at a given time for 2 resource pools, is there a chance that both resource pools utilize same 20% block of memory so that the total % is just 20% or do they use individual blocks that would total up the usage to 40%?
Thank you!
