Our NT person thinks that rebooting the SQL 2000 (on WIn 2000) server every month is a good idea (this is a client production box). I am strongly against it. For starters any trends I am trying to capture with performance monitor become useless every time we do this. I am willing to listen to every one's opinion, but I hope by now that SQL 2000 is stable enough not to have to do this.

We have to add some hardware and I was wondering if someone could provide a stepwise tip to do it .
It is a 3 Server Environment Pub/Dist/Sub
All three running under SQL2K
Here is what I am planning.
a. Uncheck the Enable in Distributed Agent for each replication
b. Wait for all replications to complete
c. Shut down Publisher ? Or do I have to do something else before that.
Please explain a little .
Thanks
Do you guys reboot your SQL 2005 servers at a set schedule? If so, how often are you rebooting the servers?

I've just rebooting the db server and I've currently got 82 connections open to the server. vb6 apps connect fine but .Net apps are sruggling - sa is sql200 query analyzer. they can't get a connection to the server - it just hangs for ages. any idea?

I just installed SP2. I wanted to install the AdventureWorksDW database as part of the Database Engine Tuning Advisor tutorial. It said my install was not finished and I had a "pending reboot requirement." I shut down, and 8 different updates ran. When I tried to install the AdventureWorksDW database again, I got the same message. I'll see if there are still more updates to run.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI installed SP1 for SS 2005 on a quasi-production server, which is why I didn't mind rebooting the server. Unfortunately, it's been 5 hours and the server still hasn't rebooted. (I see a gray screen and a pointer, and that's it... but there's still disk access happening. I'm not really sure what it's doing.)
What's the best way to avoid the 5 hour reboot in the future?
Thanks,

It takes my server forever to reboot, does anyone know how to fix this or is this a problem with the system or just how it is? Thanks

I am running SQL Server 7.0 on a Web server and recently the SQL Server has been acting up. Basically what happens is every time the server is restarted the Service Manager fails to restart. I even get an error telling me that the service failed to start. So, when I log back in I have to physically restart the Service Manager. I have the services set to start automatically. Can anyone direct me where to look...perhaps a SQL Server log that might give me a clue. My application and error logs only tell me that it stops. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have transactional replication set up between two dedicated servers. Server A is the PDC and Server B is a BDC (they are both Win2000 boxes). Both the servers are brand new, and replaced the two that were running like clock work (replication wise) for the last 12 months. I never had this problem with the old servers....
When the servers are shut down (as the case was a couple of weeks back with a power failure) or just recently when they were move to another room. Both servers boot up at the same time. Server B (which is the server holding the db being replicated) boots quicker and as a result replication fails and is then 'sucessfully stopped'. Unless I am aware of the server being rebooted and can monitor this potential problem, within 2 days the logfile grows to large and everything comes to a crashing halt.
I just remove replication, truncate and shrink the log, reset replication and we're away.... BUT I really need to know why it is happening in the first place. I figure there must be a setting that I have forgotten about or something.
Both servers are Win2000 (SP4) and SQL2000(SP3a).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To All,I have a SQL2KSP3a database(<1GB) running on a 4x3GB physical CPU with4GB of ram. It is Windows Server 2003 with hyper-threading turn on.There are ~420 .Net users/cxns (fat client, no web/app servers) withconnection pooling and ~1 trx/sec. The database growth is neglegeableand actually is not even relevent which I will explain in a minute.99% of the trxs are from one SP that does a select. The resultsets arerelatively small as well 1~100 rows. Yes I have tuned it with indextuning wizard as well, changed the SQL memory configurations, etc....My problem is this...The first day after a reboot, the server runs 6%CPU during peak hours.During the non-peak hours until the next day something apparentlyhappens. The next day (2nd day after a reboot), it jumps to 40%CPUduring peak hours. The server will continue to run at 40%CPU duringpeak hours until the next reboot. This phenomenon has been occurringfor 6 months or more and the traffic on the server is the same for day1 as it is for day 2,3,4,... This database was on another server with100+ dbs and exibited the same behavior, thus bringing that server toits knees, and thus we had to move it to the server in question with noother dbs.I have googled my eyes out, Microsoft site, white papers, perfmon,SQLDiag, PSSDiag, execution plans, index tuning wizard, and the listgoes on! I currently have a case open with Microsoft that has beenopen for months now. I have been passed around to the 3rd "MS TechSpecialist". I have ran PSSDiag a total of 6 times for them for hourson end. I have changed MAXDOP. I could give more information, but Iwould be here for days. I am running out of patience/ideas andMicrosoft is apparently blowing smoke.Any ideas are greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!JL

If I am running SQL Server 2005 in a clustered environment, what is the safest way to restart the SQL server agent? It is currently running but I need to restart it for maintenance purposes.
Is the safeway way to restart is to login to the SQL Server Management Studio as the system administrator, select the SQL Server Agent object, right-mouse click and select "Restart?"
Whenever Veritas backup update is installed and xp_cmdhsell component is turned off in SQL server 2005 Standard Edition Sp2 after rebooting.
SQL Server blocked access to procedure €™sys.xp_cmdshell€™ of component €˜xp_cmdshell€™ because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of €˜xp_cmdshell€™ by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling €˜xp_cmdshell€™, see €œSurface Area Configuration€? in SQL Server Books Online. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15281). The step failed.
Can anyone explain me why it's happening and Is there any way we can avoid this happening in production server.
Any coments will be highly appreciated.

Restarting SQL Service does not resolve, however rebooting server, without making any changed sorts the problem.
does my sql account need access to the master?
Is this weird or am i missing something really obvious.
How many times per year should we schedule time to reboot a SQL Server 2005 Cluster? We want to do this to defrag the memory. What I am looking for is a document from Microsoft or a consulting firm that has a good reputation that I can show my manager.

I have a situation that I was wondering if anyone has ever ran into before. It has to do with one of my MS SQL servers. The hardware is a ALR/Gateway 9000R with 4 PP200's, 1 Gb RAM, and a RAID 5 with 72 Gb storage. The NIC card is an ATM 155 Mbit card connected directly to our fiber backbone.
I have WinNT 4.0 Server Enterprise Edition loaded with SP4 and MS SQL Server 6.5 Enterprise Edition with SP5 installed.
I have 7 seperate active databases on the server supporting 7 different applications. The server has been on-line for approximately 4 weeks and just recently (last Thursday) it has started to "lock up" every couple of days. By lockup I mean that it starts to reject all requests by all users. No one can connect to the server including myself. The MS SQL error log grows and grows until we reboot the server. The error logs are 100 Mb or larger in size due to rejection errors being repeated over and over again.
There has been no change made to the server since initial installation.
The error in the MS SQL error log that keeps on being repeated is...
"Message 17308: Kernelerror - Lazywriter. Process (process ID number) generated access violation; SQL Server is terminating this process."
We have an incident in with Microsoft but they are not responding fast enough.
I was hoping that someone out there may have had this type of occurrance happen before.
Any suggestions?

is there any way I can recrete a sproc in a job that runs every day?? why would it be doing this?
Is there a method in SQL Server 2k to re-locate the physical databasefiles at the time the server reboots.
