Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You use SQL Server 2017 on a high-end Linux host that has lots of main memory. For example, 6 terabytes (TB) of main memory.
-
You enable trace flag (TF) 834 that causes SQL Server to use large page memory allocation.
In this scenario, after SQL Server startup, you may notice that the memory ramp-up phase in Linux with TF 834 enabled is longer.
