Current disk queue length

  • I support a third party app for which I don't have any control of the development aspect of the system. There are certain modules that the end user will use that causes the disk queue length to stay at a steady 75-100 counter on the logical drive where my data files reside. I am not getting the response back from the vendor that I was hoping for. Would adding additional memory help in this case? Right now I have 8GBs on the cluster with 7GBs allocated to SQL. or would a poor running query cause this spike and I am at the mercy of the vendor?

  • - run sqlprofiler to find out what is going on.

    - maybe adding an index solves this problem

    - splitting to filegroups and moving a filegroup to another disk may also solve your problem.

    Start with the sqltrace using profiler!

  • Thanks. I found it was an indexing problem with their app. All is good now.
