Hi,

Reducing the Production Server Tuning Load

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190389.aspx which leads to

from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189551.aspx

quote:
The extended stored procedure, xp_msver, must be enabled to use the test server/production server scenario. Database Engine Tuning Advisor uses this extended stored procedure to fetch the number of processors and the available memory of the production server to use while tuning the test server.




Where should xp_mserver be called? on the production server or test server? My hunch is that it will be the production server. right?

thanks a lot!
