Server stops accepting connections and must be killed

  • We are running SQL Server 2005 SP3 and having issues where our database CPU spikes and it won't accept new connections. This happened on Monday, and it happened again today. Today the SQLDumper tried to start, which spikes the CPU. The problem with this is that we can't let it dump everything because the box has 32 GB of RAM and it would take forever, during this time no one can access the system. Here is what showed up in the event log.

    EventType sql90exception64, P1 sqlservr.exe, P2 2005.90.4053.0, P3 000000004a1cb91f, P4 sqlservr.exe, P5 2005.90.4053.0, P6 000000004a1cb91f, P7 0, P8 0000000000f77b13, P9 00000000000002c1, P10 NIL.

    We had to kill the process to get it to come back. We've tried simply restarting the SQL Server to give it a clean shutdown, but don't have much luck. We run 5 different databases on this box. The main one that everyone uses most is 153 GB in size. The other 4 databases are accessed through synonyms and are all on the same server. We have a logs DB which is approx 57GB in size, reports which is 8GB, Temp which is around 1-2 GB and then the Documents DB which is less than a gig in size. I guess what we're having problems with is determining the source of the problem.

    We seem to be having a large amount of records being written to the databases at about the times of the failures, but this happens at other times and it doesn't cause issues.

    Any insight is appreciated,

    Adam

  • Is it a 32Bits or 64Bits?

    I guess 64Bits, but just wanna make sure 🙂

    Do you have a lot of connections (thousands)?

    Did you check the sql error log?

  • Yes it is 64 bit.

    We generally have between 100-200 connections, sometimes in the 200s when in high use. I looked at the logs but didn't see anything that seemed very helpful. I'll double check them though. Our tempdb grew from nothing to over 60gb within 5 hous of resetting it. I'm not sure if that's related but it is something we are looking into.

  • Here is what is in the error log a little before and during the error. I have no idea how to decipher it and it doesn't really point me in any direction. If I can provide more info, let me know.

    2010-09-29 12:35:36.02 Server External dump process return code 0x20002001.

    The error information has been submitted to Watson error reporting.

  • How big is the partition that tempdb is on? What does your sysprocesses table look like when the cpu starts spiking ( as in, do you see one spid absorbing alot of cpu)?

    You say there isn't anything of consequence in the sql server logs - is there ANY kind of error around the time frame sql server freaks out?

  • The tempdb is on the same partition as the other databases. It has about 70GB of free space when the service starts up. Tempdb ends up consuming much of that eventually. I haven't had a chance to look at the sysprocesses because once it starts spiking, we can't get access to the server. We've recently learned about the dedicated admin connection, and if it happens again, we plan on using it to see what's going on.

    The log information I posted above was from the error log at the time that it spiked yesterday. The dump started at 12:35, and the error log info I posted is from about 10-11 minutes before that up until the dump. If you're asking what is in the ldf log file, I'm not sure how I can view that information, but would love to learn how.

  • I'm definately not an expert on reading stack dump, but it looks like your server ran out of memory.

    Not enough memory can keep the server from accepting new connections of course and in this case it looks like it also kept the lazy writer from getting a new buffer (hence the crash dump).

    Now you need to find out if the lack of memory comes from sql server itself or if it's from external memory pressure (another application taking all the available memory).

    That's not something easy to find out on a post mortem though, but you could have a look in the application event log and see if other applications got a problem as well.

  • Unfortunately, I'm not sure it was physical memory that was the problem. The box has 32GB of RAM and at the time the issue arose, SQL Server was only using 24GB, and it had plenty of free space. I supposed there is a possibility that we have a bad memory module and that caused an issue. Unfortunately, we'll have to take the box down to run any of those diagnostics.

  • You might want to troubleshoot by minimizing the number of accessible databases. If tempdb is filling up all available storage, that's a huge clue as to what's causing the connection problems.

    You said your main DB is ~150GB? You may have a temporary table that is being loaded with millions of records causing your physical storage problem.

  • It failed again yesterday late afternoon. Processor spiked and it was doing a dump. No incoming connections were allowed. We were hoping we could use the dedicated admin connection, but even that would time out when trying to connect to it, so no luck there. TempDB was of course reset when we had to kill the process. Right now it's not very big, so it didn't grow wildly like last time. Below are the current statistics for TempDB.
