performance errors

  • SQL Server has encountered % occurrence(s) of IO requests taking longer than 15 seconds to complete on file.

    has any one encountered this error? We have A SQL Server 2000 Enterprise at SP4.

  • It's teling you that there are slow IOs occuring. The typical range for a single IO operation should be 10-50 ms at the most. The warning is saying that in a period of (I think) 2 minutes, a certain number of IOs issued to the OS have not completed 15 seconds later.

    Typically this indicates disk bottleneck problems, or a problem somewhere in the IO stack (like an antivirus)
