SSAS Data Source Views

hi, i know best practice , efficient ssas cube design filter data. currently, having trouble deciding best approach. better use named queries filter data or use views created on sql server, 1 better generate data thanks in terms of efficiency there little difference both result in sql statements executed against sql server. but in terms of best practice recommend keeping dsv simple no named queries if possible.  the reasons can tune single view without having re-deploy entire ssas database. can apply index hints, test performance, change join strategy or clause , benefits of flow through ssas. if have multiple ssas databases or if build related powerpivot models can leverage off common view layer. http://darren.gosbell.com - please mark correct answers SQL Server  >  SQL Server Ana

nslookup - returned IP address priority

Image
hello, we have server has 2 ips. there issue can't head around. when running nslookup against 1 dns server, ips correctly returned. server ip first , second ip used web app on same machine. running nslookup against dns, returns ips in switched order, meaning web app ip first , server ip second. i have run out of ideas :-(, server owner encounters issues when querying resources. is there way set priority? dictates way ips returned when running nslookup? regards, dominique. hi, as far know, can’t set priority of records manually. by default, dns server service uses local subnet prioritizing method giving preference ip addresses on same network when client query resolves host name mapped more 1 ip address. feature requires client application attempt connect host using closest (and typically fastest) ip address available connection. the dns server service uses local subnet priority follows: the dns server service determines if local subnet prioritization

Hyper-V Memory Usage physical or disk?

i have 2 node server 2008 r2 hyper-v cluster.this cluster has 2 100gig luns attached have been configured csv. have 2 highly available vms running. i under impression hyper-v uses physical memory , not using virtual memory. say, have 2 beefy hosts has 256gigs of ram each. i have set vm use 65gigs of ram. have 1 drive on vm 50gig drive, 20.3gigs free. when vm off, lun shows 66% free space, when turn vm on lun shows 15% free space.   so vm using lun memory or missing something? when vm powered on there placeholder file created on file system equal size of ram of vm. this file ensure there enough physical space reserved save memory state of vm , vm goes svaed state. if vm goes saved state file replaced memory of vm. there no way modify behvior in way, other reducing ram of vm - file decreases in size accordingly. this not used memory paging or - strictly placeholder , failsafe.   brian ehlert (hopefully have found useful) http://itproctology.blogspot.com
