Optimize SQL Server

  • Hi,

    Users are complaining for slow system. Viewing performance monitor i captured the following data. I believe that the problems seems to be on Hard Drives. Any suggestion for optimizing server performance and making it health!

    Avg Disk Write Que: 50-55%

    Avg Disk Read Que:100%

    % Disk Time: 100%

    % Processor Time: 45-50%

  • Since you are in somewhat of an emergency situation

    do a sp_who2, and see if there are any "RUNNABLE" Connections where CPU Time or DISKIO is high.

    then next do a dbcc inputbuffer(spid) to see if you can see what is going on.

    But do this at your own risk. I will not guarantee this helps anything.

    If not critical then Kill it.

    Otherwise just wait til it dies down.

    then you will have to embark on a performance tuning and monitoring project to keep this stuff in check. Tune that query, and all other queryies.

    Check Index health and reorganize where necessary.

  • What is your buffer cache hit ratio?  If this is below 90% then your problem lies at least as much with memory as with disk.

    If you cannot fix the problem yourself and the application generates a lot of money for your organisation, then you should be able to get funds to hire a performance tuning consultant.
