Hi all,
I have a problem...
I use SQL server 2000,all the disk on computer is used to store data file and transaction log file, and now they are full so data can be insert or update because the data file and transaction log file can be add more or increase, please show me.
Best regard,
Dear All,
I've the quorum disk of my cluster on win2003 full and I cannot use The cluster administrator because the Service Cluster cannot going up.
Obviously the shared disk (included Quorum) and MSDTC are not visible and I'm wondering if is possible to solve the problem without rebuild the cluster.
Thank you to everybody
My logfile has grow the disk full - the logfil is 25 gb and I have 4 gb free.
I can't shrink the log fil !
Can I set the log file to null ??
I have backup my datafil successfully!
Help!
Does anyone know how to send a notification, using SQL Agent Alert,
if disk space gets to a certain level on the various server
hard drives?
thanks!
My data folder of SQL as filled up the space of my local drive. I have 150KB free space left in the drive. So I have to delete some records to regain space. But when I run the delete query it says transaction log is full and stops halfway. How can I free space? How can I delete the records? There is no available space to shrink as well.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy SQL server disk space is getting close to full capacity which is causing certain reports that we run via the SQL server to time out because I don't think there is enough space on the server.
Any tips on cleaning out a SQL server? Are there any folders that can absolutely be deleted to clear space? I know on a local computer that the %temp% folder can be cleaned out. I know when dealing with servers you do not want to make to many changes because it can cause major problems down the road.
has anyone met with this before?the setting is SQL2K with SP3 on a 2 node active-active W2K3 cluster.on one of the machine, it occasionally prompts for the following error:"The log file for database "tempdb" is full. Back up the transactionlog for the database to free up some log space."the problem is, at the time of error, the tempdb tx log is only 200MBand there are over 50G disk space available.settings of tempdb:-- 10% autogrow, unlimited max size-- auto shrink off-- data file around 1GThanks.

If I return the Average, Minimum, and Maximum values for the counter Physical Disk: Avg. Disk Queue Length, and those values are 10, 0, 87 respectively, which value do I use to compute the Avg. Disk Queue Length for a 4 disk array(RAID 10): Average, Minimum, or Maximum? The disk(lun) is on a SAN.

Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
this is my configuration :
1) 3 disks in RAID5 that hold the SQL data
2) 1 disk in RAID0 that holds the only paging file.
What will happen to the SQL data (DB) when the disk that holds the paging file crashes?
Kindest regards,
Luc.
Hi all,
Ok here goes,
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have sql server 2000. I copied a database from one server to another. I have one table that has a full-text index. When I transferred over the database, the index still existed, but was not populated. I made sure the path for the file is pointing to a new correct location. I did "start full population". It only populated one entry @ 1MB. On the old server the index is 100MB with more than 3 million records.
I tried rebuilding, re-creating, and it all works, but when I run "start full population", it only populates 1 record. I double checked the table in question and it has over 3 million records and proper primary key.
How do I resolve this.
We will move t-log from one disk to another one. I tried Alter Database and found it did not work for log.
Can somebody give me a method about moving log from different disks?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have a server and it has C: D: F: I: Drives and all the system files are on C:Drive and and all the .MDF's and .LDF's(model,temp,master) are on the F: Drive and now I am running out of space on both(C: and F: Drives)
1. Can we add space to the C: and F: drives on the fly?.
2. Can I move the System databases ( MDF's and LDF's to some other drive)and if so, how do I do it?( Moving the databases ) and this is on the production database so when I have to do this.Will there be any impact.
Thanks in Advance,

Does anyone know how to get the free disk space for all drives in many different SQL servers.
I need to populate a report (right now output in Excel) with the free disk space of all drives on all of my SQL servers.
I found xp_fixeddrives but that is specific for the server where it is executed.
Any help or pointers to a script in the archives is much appreciated.
Thanks.
One of my production servers has been determined to be 92% fragmented.
What's the proper procedure for defraging a database server?
I couldn't find anything very helpful in BOL, nor Knowledge Base.

We need a drive cloning app, like Ghost, that will allow us to transfer a production image off of a HDD to other PCs. The problem with this is that
our production needs SQL in order to run and transferring the initial image to uniquely named workstations causes DB registration problems. Is there
an app that will allow us to configure this transferred image so that SQL will refer to the "new" drive instead in of the "old"?
Hello,
We are experiencing high disk i/o on one of our RAID disk systems. Can someone tell me how I can identify the query or user or process which is causing this high disk i/o?
Thanks,
Brent.
I noticed something strange today. I was running a query using query analyzer on a large database (8.8 million records) and the disk space on the c: drive was dropping and eventually went to 0. Availalbe space on the c: drive is 10GB. The query did complete. SQL server and all the databases are on the d: drive. After closing the query results in query analyzer the disk space returned. Is this a concern and is there a way to change it to use the d: for whatever it is doing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat's the best way to find out if disk fragmentation on Windows 2000 Server is affecting SQL Server performance?
If disk fragmentation is shown to be a cause of performance problems, what are the recommendations for a disk fragmentation strategy? eg. use the win 2000 built in disk defrag utility or buy a 3rd party product like DiskKeeper? How much of an overhead is a product like DiskKeeper that defrags in the background?

I have one big db and i heve no place on disk
the log file is big too. how can i delete the log
This is my first attempt using SQL 2000 and DTS. I am importing an Access database using the DTS wizard. The process fails with a "Not enough space on temporary disk" error. There is definitely enough space on the physical disk. I don't have any limits on any folder sizes either. What "disk" is the error talking about, and how do I give it enough space. The database is relatively small, about 10MB. I believe the database was created using Access 97. Please help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI understand the log files (LDF ) and data files (mdf ) should be on a different drives . I believe it leads to greater availabilty and speed . Are there any other reasons for to keep this on a separate drive.
Also what considerations I should take care while creating a database of around 100 GB . (use of filegroups , growth % etc ). Is there any connection of number of users to number of disks SQL data file to be spread to . Also do I need to take care (through hardware / software for a Quad core CPU ) to take full advanage of Quad core CPU.
I am wondering what normal disk I/O should be.
i know it verys depending on use but im looking for an average.
here is an idea of what we have
there is about 10 centers doing replication to our primary server.
we have about 80 users connecting directoy to our primary server using MS Dynamics through CITRIX.
we have a few other apps use the database as well however i am fairly certin its Dynamics generating our disk IO
Hardware wise we have a powerful blade connected to a raid 5 SAN with 15000 rpm disks.
normaly the disk IO stays fairly low but every so often it goes crazy and im thinking it shouldn't
Below is a sample of our disk IO from perfmon over 2 minutes or so. as you can see everything looks ok untill 04/15/2008 10:12:49.470 when the Disk I/O % goes above 100%

Hi,
I'm trying to install a server cluster to implement an SQL Server 2005 cluster. No other services (I think this is important).
I've a dual SCSI channel Smart Array with 4 disks configured in a 400Gb RAID 5.
I do not need to move different resource groups from one node to the other, I need only one group with all the resources IP, Network name, MSDTC, and SQL Server..., when a node fails, all services should failover to the other node.
Is it possible to have only one physical disk (RAID 5) for Quorum disk and shared disk?
It would be the following configuration:
[Groups]
Cluster Group
IP Address
Network Name
Physical disk (used for quorum and shared storage)
Distributed Transaction Coordinator
SQL Server
SQL Server Agent
Generic Service (SQL Server Fulltext)
The other option would be having a 1 physical disk Raid 0 for Quorum (146Gb wasted) and another physical disk Raid 5 (3 disk) for Shared Storage, but this schema will have a a flaw point that if Quorum disk fails, the cluster fails....
Any help would be appreciate.
Best regards.
Ilde.
I am writing up a general purpose document regarding Disaster Recovery and Backup and Restore, etc. I have a question that I've been unable to find any definitive answer on, and I was hoping that someone might have an answer.
Here is the scenario and what I have so far, and my question:
Scenario - A simple database, with one MDF and one LDF, each on it's own disk, with no mirroring or filegroups etc.
Disaster - the LOG disk fails.
To simulate the disaster, I shut down SQL Server, and delete the LDF manually.
When I restart SQL Server, the database is marked as suspect. As expected :)
So, now the recovery begins..... I've read that in this case there is no data loss, but I find that hard to believe. Can anyone confirm?
Anyway, how to restore the database to usable status? Here is what I've come up with so far:
1) Do a backup of "the tail of the log." This works even though there is no log. I have no idea why really, but I can't proceed otherwise.
2) Detach the database.
3) Reattach the database. This auto-creates a new log file (albeit not in the location I want, which makes for more work after).
At this point the database appears to be fine. I have not seen any lost data or problems, but of course I'm working on a test database, not with live users hitting it constantly. If the database were under heavy use, I expect that there might indeed be data lost?
Is this the recommended way to recover from a disaster of this type? Or, would it be better to just go back to your last good backups and forget about "up to the minute" recovery in this case? Or is there yet another means?
Thanks,
Travis
I need a way to get the used space for a physical drive, or even the total capacity for a drive to do some calculations.
I don't want to have to write my own native code either.
Is there a stored procedure that will give this to me?
I saw the xp_fixeddrives that will give the free space, but I need one of the other as well.
Any way to get this?
Thanks,
Jason
We recently moved from v6.5 to v7.0. Now I have the databases and logs set to "autogrow". How can I monitor the disk space to ensure I do not run out of room (or is that preset as to how large it can grow ?). Can't find anything in the books online. Do I do this through the NT admin tool or through the SQL*Server Enterprise Manager and more importantly - how ???
Thanks so much for any help...

I'm trying to save a dts package and it keeps coming back with insufficient disk space. I noiticed that db MSDB was full so I manually increased the size. It was set to manually grow at 1 mb increments. But for some reason it didn't look like it was doing that so I manually increased it. Right now this is about 355 MB free so that should be plenty to save a package. But its still coming back with the same error insufficient disk space to complete operation. Any ideas on why or why it didn't grow on its own? Please help I can't seem to save any packages.
