DBCC CheckDB jobs failed

  • We have a SQL Server 2008 SP3 Enterprise cluster. Two database CheckDB jobs failed, one of the databases jobs failed two days in a row. I copied the databases after the reported corruption and restored them to our test environment (test and production servers are not identical) and retested the CheckDB. That ran successfully. I also queried the 2 production database tables, they also ran successfully. The databases are mostly used 9-5, M-F, the jobs failed on a Saturday and Sunday night.

    Message from Job:

    Source: {5DAA337E-9AC6-42A4-A846-054D25886600}

    Executing query "DECLARE @GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER

    EXECUTE msdb..sp...".: 100% complete End Progress

    DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 11:00:01 PM Finished: 11:00:02 PM Elapsed: 1.154 seconds.

    The package execution failed. The step failed.

    Error logs are not giving me any information. Job doesn't show much to work with. What are my options? Comments / URLs are appreciated. Thanks...

  • Not enough information there. The CheckDB output would have been written to the error log. Look there.

  • Both jobs ran successfully last night.

    Still baffled by what happened here. Error logs had no information about a failure. Job logs showed a failure but without explanation. Same with the event viewer. No explanation as to what happened.

    There are some underlying concerns here - we had a issue about a month ago where the default instance went down (the jobs that failed are on a named instance). Further review showed that our cluster Microsoft and third party drivers are old, 2009 timeframe, and need upgrading. This and other changes are being considered. Could this have contributed - don't know.

    Any comments about this would be appreciated - thanks.
