KB3187549 - FIX: Affinity mask does not work correctly for NUMA nodes in SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services

Applies To
SQL Server 2016 Developer - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2016 Enterprise - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2016 Enterprise Core - duplicate (do not use)

Symptoms

Assume that you use a tabular instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services on a computer that has multiple NUMA nodes. If more than one NUMA node is mapped to the same processor group, you can only set the group affinity for a subset of the NUMA nodes. For example, if you have four NUMA nodes mapped to one processor group, only one of the NUMA nodes can be used.
