SQLIOSTRESS and Benchmarking

  • I am running SQLIOSTRESS on my XP machine before I run it on the Server.   It looks like it will run another 4 hours..   How can I safely KILL IT ??????

    ALso,  I downloaded the installer for  SQLIO from Microsoft and I'm going to give that a try..     What I'm trying to do is do some benchmarking before troubleshooting a slow SQL Server -   Are these the best tools to  use?

    I tried running Perfmon to capture some Server AND Sql Server data but I can't figure out how to save the data in PerfMon so I can compare later..

    Any suggestions!!!?????!!!!

  • For your XP machine, just kill it (or reboot). There should be no ill effects. As for diagnosing a slow SQL Server here's my 'short list' for tuning:

    Round I

        DBCC UPDATEUSAGE

        UPDATE STATISTICS (with FULL scan) for all tables

        exec sp_recompile for all tables

        exec sp_refreshview for all views

    Round II

        DBCC DBREINDEX

        UPDATE STATISTICS (with FULL scan) for all tables

        exec sp_recompile for all tables

        exec sp_refreshview for all views

    Round III

        Profiler

        Query Hints
