Placing Tempdb BACK On Disk
Jul 23, 1998Our development server is limited on RAM and I have been asked to increase Tempdb. I made the decision to put it back on disk; something I have done dozens of times before. I have used the Enterprise Manager`s GUI interface and I have manually typed in the SQL using ISQL/w, both ways have resulted in the same error message.
Microsoft SQL-DMO
Error 5016: [SQL Server] Incorrect database name or device name(s).
I have dropped the old and created new database devices (with different names) and I still receive the error message. I have even tried rebooting with Tempdb back in RAM and on disk 1t 2MB (which works). And yes, I HAVE checked my typing.
I would GREATLY appreciate any ideas on what may be wrong. The system is 6.5 with SP4 on Win NT with SP3. I inherited the system, so I am not certain what the hisory is.
Thanks,

DB Engine :: Server TempDB Set On RAM Disk
Oct 23, 2015I try to find some feedback regarding setting the TempDB files on a RAM disk.Specifically I am looking for "production results" that could show the difference/benefit of such an usage.The tests on physical server and VM I already made have shown a boost in overall SQL Server 2012 performance on SQL Server instances housing data for SharePoint 2013 and Dynamics AX 2012 R2.Graphic below show differences between 5 different configuration on the same physical server:
- Physical HD: Server with local HD
- Physical SANEX1PRD: Server with TempDB files stored on a low-end SAN
- Physical SAN1: Server with TempDB files stored on a high-end SAN (around 100000 IOps)
- Physical SAN1 Jumbo: same setup with Jumbo Frame activated on NIC and DB engine
- Physical RAMdrive: with TempDB files stored on a 16 GB soft RAM drive within OS memory
Results were really impressive for the DB engine housing Dynamics AX data. My colleagues from the SharePoint team told me it also boosted a bit overall SharePoint performances but they did not have any baseline comparison to show.If you have some feedback, results, links, whatever I am interested.Indeed before setting this to all our SQL Server 2012 instances I y rather collect some *real world* feedback.

Jul 13, 2007Hi everyone,
Due to running out of disk space and reducing I/O contention, I plan to seperate data files and log files to different disk arrays.
My plan is to
- detach all databases
- copy log files to another disk
- attach all databases
The total size of log files is about 60GB. It becomes a problem becasue it spend too much time passing files. To reduce down time, is there any way I can do?
Can I just create new log files and remove the current files by using sql management studio?
any other suggestions? Thanks in advance
Moving Tempdb To Free Up Disk Space
Nov 29, 2000does anyone know if tempdb can be physically moved to a different partition on a disk drive on SQL Server 7.0? Since it can't be backed up I'm hesitant to use the sp_detach/sp_attach procedure because I don't want to crash it. If nothing else is available, I can attempt moving it this way at the end of the day and then just reboot to get tempdb back up again if the server fails, but I'd really appreciate a suggestion from someone who has more know-how than I do about system table operations. Thanks again

Does anyone know how to move tempdb (mdf and ldf files) to another physical disk of already instaled SQL Server 2000? (The idea is to move the tempdb to another dedicated disk in order to improve the performance.)

Shrink Or Move Tempdb
Oct 1, 2007One of my boxes was built with all of the system databases on the C: drive, and tempdb is up to 2 GB and there is no room left on the drive
It should have been installed on the D: drive
I've never had to do this before, mostly because I never install sql serevr on the c partition
Any war stories or suggestions

View 1 Replies View RelatedFailed Move Of Tempdb
Apr 5, 2007I attempted to move tempdb using detach/reattach with SQL Server 2005 started with the -T3608 flag. I am now in a situation where tempdb is not listed in sysdatabases, but it is in sysaltfiles. If I try to detach it, it says the db doesn't exist. If I try to reattach it, it says it already exists. Since I can't alter the sys tables, is there anyway to get SQL to create a new tempdb, or to reattach the old? Thanks.

Should The Quorum Disk Be A Physical Disk Or Majority Node Set?
Nov 15, 2006Hello,
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.

SQL Server, Disk Arrays And Disk IO
May 7, 2004Hi 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
Tempdb Is Skipped. You Cannot Run A Query That Requires Tempdb
Jul 14, 2004Has anyone seen the SQL Server error:
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.

SQL 6.5 And Disk Cloning
Mar 23, 1999We 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"?

Low Disk Space On C:
Aug 2, 2004I 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?

Aug 9, 2004What'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?
