This problem can be understood with an illustration. Let’s say a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 with a 64 bit version is started by you on a system which has Windows Server 2008 R2 to make the utilization of the large number of pages on it. Such type of activity may hinder you to continue with your work smoothly and would create disturbances or breaks in between. Apart from this, the service of SQL server might not work.

Root of the problem

The reason why this type of problem occurs is that when the binary executable program is linked or mapped to large pages, there is an internal function which does not set the correct data. It makes the data inappropriate.
