Description
Hi,
MaxDopFewNumaOver15 rule (Microsoft Ruleset 1.0.261) raises a warning when evaluated against a server with 32 logical cores on 2 NUMA nodes with a Maxdop equals to 16.
Message: "Update MAXDOP configuration option value: 16 – it should be half the number of logical processors per NUMA node"
This warning should be raised when a server has more than 16 cores by NUMA node.
sqlserver module 21.1.18226
Regards
