title: Seeing High Memory Usage In SQL Server 2012
body: <p>We have just installed SQL Server 2012 and implemented AAG.  It is a 2 node cluster on Windows 2012. The servers are VMs using VMWare 5.1. For some reason, I am seeing the memory usage max out at 15 gigs.  The server has 16 GB of memory and I have set the max memory in SQL to be 12gb and the min memory server to be 8 gigs.
  Is this normal for SQL to max out on the memory like that?  There are no other applications running on that server and at the time there is very low activity.</p>
