Server performance down

  • I see lot of waits waiting on resource_semophore

    Usually server performance is commonly running but when this wait comes

    there will be almost 10,000 transactions waiting on resource_semophore

    I went through lot of articles about this and I came to know it is waits on memory

    but I did'nt found the solution .

    If some one who come across the same problem tell me what did you do?

  • Memory is the bottle-neck of your system? sure? if so, can solve the problem by adding more memory.

    But, i suggest, firstly, giving your system a whole performance tuning, and find the reason why more memory usage.

    Maybe, the problem is fixed after tuning some T-SQL, SP or system structure.

    Ha-ha, good luck.:-P

  • Is this a new development or has the system been slowly stagnating over time?

    If it's a new development, and it's a cluster, force a failover. Let the users work off the other box for a while. Why? You need to determine hardware or software failure if it's a new issue.

    If it's a slowly building issue that's been getting worse, it's time for an architectural review of the database and all the procs. See what can be put on a diet. Check for swap file usage, see if it's actually waiting on the swapfile while it's waiting for memory.

    EDIT: Sorry, I should have added, the queries you'll be looking to optimize are sorting and hashing queries first to help relieve the pressure.

  • Hey Guys thanks fo rthe replies but I have one question regarding this

    My server min memory and max memory

    is set to min---'0'

    max---'30GB'

    Total Ram is 32 GB

    2GB left for OS.

    Can I change them to defaults Is that would be a problem or no.

    Because OS needs 2GB or atleast 1 Gb.

    I think server is now limited to use only 30 GB

    So thats the reason it won't use .pagefile
