HI all,
I have a live server that is running Windows 2003 Enteprise edition with 17Gb of memory. It is running SQL Server 2000 Enteprise with AWE switched on.
Recently one of our Windows administrators changed the SQL Server login from adminstrator to another user. and restarted SQL Server. The user didn't have the lock page memory permissions. This meant that AWE could not be enabled. I changed the permissions and restart SQL Server all seemed well....
Now around 02:00 in the morning our DTS packages that perform the ETL for the data warehouse is failing with the following error message:-
Step Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Step Error Description1:Extract Dimensions) SubStep 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_4' failed with the following error:
There is insufficient system memory to run this query.
After restarting the job, all seems to be fine!!!
I have had a look in the SQL Server log, and there seem to be a lot of messages about memory.

first off if this is a production system I'd either sack the windows admin who made the change or remove builtin admins access to the sql server ( although that won't fully solve the problem so the first option seems best )

SQL Service accounts must be changed through enterprise manager, not services/service accounts as the new account won't pick up the proper permissions. So I suggst you take that route and you need to restart the sql service at least to be sure - check the sql error log to make sure all is ok.

so . memory - well dts runs out of process so fights for that bottom 2gb of ram - awe takes 1 gb out of that ( as I understand it ) so I assume you don't have the /3gb switch enabled - if so get rid of it. Don't allocate more than 15gb to sql server with awe - make sure you have issues a sql command to set max memory with awe, don't use EM use the t-sql. Don't bother with min memory as awe disables dynamic memory management ( completely )

You'll probably have lower memory issues, i have a server with similar issues, watch your out of process programs, dts, sqlmaint, linked servers, open rowset and so on. Check out the -g startup option ( you can place this through EM ) to attempt to set contiguous lower memory.

If in doubt get Ken Henderson's internals guide to sql server, it'll explain some of this.

Cool thanks for that Colin, I had the same thoughts about 15Gb of memory... I have also read that upgrading to SP4 then applying a hotfix ( KB899761&nbsp may also solve the problem, have you had any issues with SP4 and AWE?

well I never did sp4 without the awe patch, which shows as version 2040, but i've mostly rolled up to 2187 of late, so no I never had any awe issues, but you do need the fix. I have a couple of servers with 24gb ram and previously have used up to 32gb of ram without any issues. ( well awe issues anyway )

What about SP4 itself, any servers with issues? I have a jittery client that are worried about regression should we have problems with SP4....Especially as Microsoft say you can't rollback.

sp4 has some problems ( so I'm told ) which are resolved with the 2187 rollup. You must apply the awe patch if you apply sp4. I personally haven't seen any obvious issues. sp4 introduces some new messages which may appear to indicate your server has problems, when it hasn't, reporting is just better.

difficult to advise really, deploy to test system first ?

I have already applied SP4 and the patch to development but this server doesn't have the same configuration, for example only 4Gb of memory and not on the SAN but on local disks. Got some interesting messages from it when running the ETL, which I Assume is what you are talking about when mentioning the messages....

SQL Server has encountered 27 occurrence(s) of IO requests taking longer than 15 seconds to complete on file [D:\SQL2000Data\BusObjDataSys\Data\tempdb.mdf] in database [tempdb] (2). The OS file handle is 0x00000530. The offset of the latest long IO is: 0x0000006e7d6000
