Hello,
One of our customer is using SQL Server 2008 R2 in association with Dynamic CRM (DCRM) 2011 - Underlying physical server got 60 CPU and there is no other application running on underlying host.
I had reviewed few expensive queries - most of them are running in parallel, with sometime as many threads as 17-24 threads and CXPACKET pops up as prominent wait type. I have read numerous times that MAXDOP should be set to 8 on OLTP server for optimal performance. Do you still recommend setting MAXDOP to 8 on a host with 64 CPU for enhanced performance?
Got limited exposure to DCRM and never had opportunity to work on such high end server.
Appreciate your insight and help. Thank you.
