I have SQL 7 running on an Active/Passive Cluster configuration. My problem is that I can not see any
SQL objects listed on perfmon.
Can this be because of the Cluster configuration? I trying to run perfmon directly from the main system console.
Thanks,
Randy
We are in plan to build a Monitoring tool using PowerShell and Performance Monitor which could monitor 10 to 20 servers. Do you have any reference of any existing tool using Performance Monitor to monitor the SQL Server and available for free? I didn't want to put some effort, if something is available already.

I am new to sql server and sould like to know how I can monitor the server performance on sql servers 6.5 and 7. In sybase we can run sp_sysmon. Is there anything similar to this for sql server.
Thanks.
Hi
I am learning SQL SERVER ..Can anyone tell me how do I tune a given stored procedure in 6.5 and 7.0.?
In performance tunning which counters are really necessary to watch and the remedies to be taken?
Thanks

Does anyone know of a way to determine which SPs or which tables are being accessed the most heavily or often from an application? I have inherited a site that is heavily used, but poorly tuned. However we have distributed C/S apps that hit the server and do not contain debug code. In addition, the SPs are encrypted and I do not want to replace them in the short term with new SPs that log hits.
I realize I can use triggers, but is there any other method?
Hi,
I want to collect performance measures regarding the import of data
and the growth of resulting extract_tables.
I use - say - 15 tables from a erp-system (like JDE Edwards)
to build a -say - sales-warehouse and a MS-OLAP-cube.
For every incoming table I got a dts-package witch is
protocolled into msdb.sysdtspackagelog.
Every package got the name
[Build]_[Subsystem]_[Table_name]
e.g. JDEdwards_Sales_F0005
The destination table is namend e.g. extr_F0005
Now:
With a seperate DTS-package I transport the
records from msdb-db into my build-db
- say - JDEdwardsExtract.
Name: extr_performance_monitor
(eventually filter on buildname, because there are several builds in
my system)
So this result is quit good and easy to handle for
seeing elapsed time per day.
But the dtslog won't tell me, how many records the dtspackage
had to copy.(and there is one at least with no records (Cubeupdate))
Now the count(*) comes in.
In the dts-package
sys...log ---- to --- extr_performance_monitor
I added the columns
extr_table_name,
extr_table_rowcount,
extr_table_timestamp.
With
select name, 'extr_' + replace(name, '[Build]_[Subsystem]','') as
extr_table_name from extr_performance_monitor
I cut the original dts packagename down to the extr_.. name.
But I don't have a clue how to solve the count(*)
Example:
dts_package_name,.... , extr_table_name,extr_table_rowcount, extr_table_timestamp
[Build]_[SS]_[F0005], ..., extr_F0005, 0, sysdate.
I think about a package wich is running after the last
data_import (and cube_refresh) is done.
(but the same day)
So the result could be:
Table_name (as dimension category)
Time to perform
Number of records in import table
Records per second.
The next step could be to look for required space.
The result should be a grafik - say - over 12 month
were you can easily see the amount of data performend
time consumend, (table space used),
and - very important -
you could extrapolate your hardware requirements.
Looking forward for any hints.
Thanks in advance.

My SQL Server 2000 system is pegged. Disk activity is maxed out and system is very unresponsive. Several people have database tasks running through this system and I'm pretty sure there is a single application that is the culprit and I'd like to identify which one.
Does anyone have any practical tips on using "Process Info" in Enterprise Manager? What units are CPU and Physical I/O displayed in? Why does the column sort on these fields not work as expected?
Do I just pick the process with the largest Physical I/O and assume that's the problem?
I was wondering if the CPU is the bottleneck. Hence I used the PerformanceMonitor to look up some values. Here are the results.Counter Scale Average MaximumMinimum%Disk Time 1 2.74 24.9320Current Disk Queue Length 10 0.090 6 0Buffer cache hit ratio 1 99.752 99.75299.751%Processor Time (Total) 1 2.307 9.6880.313%Processor Time (sqlserv) 1 1.218 7.188 0Processor Queue Length 10 6.960 11 5The thing that puzzles me is that the Processor Time is quite low but theProcessor Queue Length is very high. Why is the processor processes queuingup when the processor not bogged down ? I would assume both values to be onthe high side. Is the high buffer hit ratio an indicator that the CPU iswaiting for some reads from the buffer before processing the next process?The users often run reports on historical data. That might be the reason forthe high buffer hit rates.Am I monitoring the wrong values ?Any advise would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance.Pit

In performance monitor, Add Counters interface, it is pointed to the local SQL server as default.
Probably a kind of 'stu..' question. When I typied a remote sql server name in the "select counters from computer dropdown listbox", which is in my E.M. registered already, I got the error of "Unable To Connect To the Machine".
thanks

I am looking for a good solution for monitoring the performance on my SQL Server. I've used Performance Monitor but think there are better solutions out there. Specifically, I'd like to run the app on my desktop to monitor the server remotely. I'd like the app to run constantly and notify me if anything weird starts to happen.
I'm looking at i3 for SQL Server by Veritas as an option, but it's gonna cost ~$2k.
Anybody have comments, suggestions with the Veritas product or any other packages out there you would recommend.
Thanks,

Running our software on many client sites.
Application:
1) using a 4gl language
2) uses ntwdblib.dll
Client MSSQL Servers:
1) varies from site to site on average dual core, 4GB, 20-100GB HD
2) MSSQL 2000 sp3-4, 2005 sp1-2
A handfull of our clients have complained about how slow things seem to be working. So after getting online with the customer and doing some investigating/testing, I have found that 'slow' is not the word to use. We are talking about snails pace. Now this same software at our other mssql sites doesnt seem to have any problems. very good performance numbers. Some of our customers with single cpu, 2GB, 10GB HD have better performance than a couple of our 4 cpu, 16GB, 2 - 20GB HD systems.
we have written a simple test program that we run on these slow sites that individually (useing local drives/files) are comparable to our faster sites. We then run the test program against the MSSQL database/tables. On the servers the run times are about the same. However, when we run it on a workstation the results go off the scale. At our good sites, the test time is around 10 minutes, on our bad sites the test time is around 1 HR 30 minutes.
Now i know this sounds like a network issue, but one of these slow sites had someone come out and check the network traffic/packets/routers/switches. then we paid to send that person to one of our faster sites to test their network. The results were that our slower client had a faster network. Our slower client uses CISCO smart switches/hubs/router.
Now for my question, does anyone know of or could recommend something that i could use to determine what is happening between the server and workstation on these slow sites.
Is there a problem with CISCO equipment and MSSQL 2005, NTWDBLIB.DLL. I am looking for anything here.
We have a shared SQL 2005 instance and we have concerns about performance.
What tools would you suggest to monitor performance of a SQL server database? Would you use perf-mon? If so which monitors give you the best results?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm looking for tool that will help me to monitor and analyze SQL server performance including SQL activities and server activities(cpu, memory usage) as well.
I appriciate any feedback,
Thank you,

I'm fairly new to the DBA thing.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on monitoring MSSQL performance.
What tools are you guys using?
PerfMon, Dbartisan, Spotlight, or what?
I'd like to find some free or affordable way to watch our Servers to check health/performance/etc.
Does SQL Compact Edition expose performance counters to tools like Perfmon as SQL Server does? For instance, can you view lock wait times, cache hit ratio, etc.?

I'm using Visual Web Developer Express and Management Studio Express, and my web site is on a shared web host´, running SqlServer2000. I'm looking for software that enables me to monitor the server, but is it possible? The only apps I've found (and downloaded and installed and unistalled) so far need administrative rights to the server so they won't work on a shared web host.
All help would be welcome!

Ideally we'd like to configure our SQL cluster w/ the databases on one drive and the logs on another. Is this feasable in a cluster solution.. Will it basically just be 2 drives that are failed over vs. 1?
Thanks
In a two node cluster, is it possible to change from a Active-Passive configuration to Active-Active without completely reinstalling?
Thanks
Hi, could someone tell me if this configuration is possible?
Machine A: Instance 1 (ACTIVE) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine B: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (ACTIVE) + Instance 3 (pasive)
Machine C: Instance 1 (passive) + Instance 2 (passive) + Instance 3 (ACTIVE)
I know that it is possible with 2 machines with the clasical solution of Machine1: active-passive, Machine2: passive-active, this way if one of the machines goes down the other one will take the job of both instances, but I dont know if this solution is possible in SQL server 2000 with 3 instances at the same time.
Help please? thanks
Hey. I've 2 nodes in this activeactive cluster. Both of them have 20gb memory. Right now, both are configured to use 12gb each. Is that the right way to configure it? I was thinking we'll have IO issues if we ever failed over to a server. I've to migrate to SQL 2005 and needed some help regarding using accounts.
Should I use the same account for the cluster service and the SQL Server/Agent service? If not what are the permissions I've to give to the cluster service account in SQL? I've a cluster with 2 nodes. What permissions should the SQL account be given on the box? Should it be a local admin or when installing, I give it the account and let SQL worry about giving permissions to the box?
Thank you.
I have a 2 node cluster in an active/active configuration. Install is SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition x64, patched to KB934458
If I try and run SQL Server Configuration Manager on node 1 the application does not start and I get the following message: "Connection to target machine could not be made in a timely fashion." This happens for both SQL Server instances (SQL01 and SQL02).
I can connect fine on the 2nd node with both instances.
Further to this, if I try and run the Surface Area Configuration tool on node 1 - I can't connect to either SQL Instance (SQL01 and SQL02)
If I run the SAC tool on the second node, I can connect to the instance SQL02 that is active on node 2. If I fail that SQL Instance over to node 1, I can no longer connect
I think there is clearly something not quite right about node 1.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I have installed SQL Server 2012 on Node1 successfully and trying add node on Node2 and its failing with below message. I attached the screen shot.
Here we are not doing multi-subnet failover clustering. Why we are getting extra and asking for IP and what IP should we enter there?Add Node option should automatically detect the IP we configured on Node1.

Hi all,
I have an issue with an SQL cluster.
I have two MS Windows 2003 Server Ent Ed. SP2 in cluster. They have MS SQL Server 2005 in cluster.
I have created and endpoint and when I try to access I get the attached error in client machine. This problem only occurs in cluster configuration, because the same installation in an SQL (no cluster) works fine.
EventID: 4 Source: Kerberos
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/fra-lille-hel03.ea.holcim.net. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (EA.HOLCIM.NET), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
Anybody knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advanced.
If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.
I am trying to install the MS SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2012 . I successfully Installed the Failover cluster instance on my primary node.
But when I am running the installation process on passive node to add node in the failover cluster I am stuck with very unique kind of issue.
I am following the Standard process of Installation and I am getting the same windows for each next process, but after License Agreement window when I get the Cluster Node Configuration window, then in "SQL Server Instance Name" drop down box I am not getting the Name of Instance which is already installed on the primary node. But this Instance complete information is appearing in below given box.
Only issue is Instance name is not appearing in the drop down list, that's why I am not able to select and when I click on next it trough error and do not proceed.
I have a database that stores the information of a third party system. The system where the database is running has reached its performance and hardware upgrade limits. I dont want to separate the database objects in two different database servers. How can I add a second server to increase performance? A cluster will help me in this case? Or there is any other way to group servers for performance?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to create a cluster configuration, where 2 (or more) SQL Server instances running on different servers will simultaneously serve the same database attached to the same storage? Something like this:
Instance A Instance B Instance C
(active) (active) (active)
| /
| /
| /
SAN for Database and Quorum
The point would be to improve reliability and performance at the same time. All nodes would share load. If a node fails, the other nodes still work and take over the load.
I know a failover cluster can be done, where 1 instance is active and others are passive (active/passive) which improves reliability, but in this configuration just 1 instance is serving at the same time.
(As far as I understand, the active/active configuration is meant to run different databases on 2 (or more) instances such that the databases on a failing node are taken over by any other instances in the cluster.)

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I dont know what caused this.
