Lightweight Pooling Mode

  • Does SQL Server ever force Lightweight Pooling Mode on?

    I've seen LPM cause a few problems with SQL Server Agent failing to start today.

    However, the server should not have had LPM enabled

    Are there circumstances when this is forced on by SQL Server - for example this server did have a DB in recovery after a scheduled reboot - could some recovery problem end up with LPM being left enabled as running value?

  • SQL does not randomly change its configuration settings. Someone went in and enabled that feature.

    Check the SQL Error log, there will be an entry in there from when the setting was changed.

    Configuration option 'lightweight pooling' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

  • ok - understood, let me change the question slightly

    assuming the configuration was set before the reboot -why would this suddenly prevent SQL jobs from scheduling, opening etc..

  • Possibly because they're doing something that doesn't work in fibre mode. There's a number of things that don't. Difficult to say for sure though.
