IO monitoring..

  • Hi,

    Is the IO monitoring is the SQL DBA responsibility OR the Windows admin???

    Who has to do IO testing to make sure IO is good?

    thanks

  • If it is a SQL Server then we have to monitor and report the numbers to Server \ System admin team if the number are above threshold.

    What do you look for when monitoring I/O?

    I gather details related to disk response time through perform for these counters avg. disk sec\ read , avg disk sec\write and avg disk sec\ transfer for physical disk object.

    To know at datafile level I gather various details from this dynamic view

    sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats(SQL 2005) or fn_virtualfilestats if it is sql 2000 and then do analysis from gathered data.

  • I appreciate your insight. I would like to get more infromation on it. Can you direct me to the resources that will help me to understand gathering and analyzing I/O information?
