I/O requests taking longer than 15 seconds to complete

  • Getting below message in error log when DBCC CHECKDB is running.

    SQL Server has encountered x occurrence(s) of I/O requests taking longer than 15 seconds to complete on file [Drive:\MSSQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\xyz.mdf] in database [database]. The OS file handle is 0x00000000. The offset of the latest long I/O is: 0x00000000000000

    I never see this message other than DBCC CHECKDB.

    Is this indicating any IO bottleneck or its normal to see this message while running DBCC CHECKDB ?

  • can you provide more detail about your I\O subsystem?

  • This is one of the most difficult things to debug. It indicates that sql server sent a request to your storage and it is taking over 15 seconds to get a response back when it should be below 10 milliseconds.
