Server died

  • Hi!

    While monitoring MS SQL 2000 sp3 + (Win 2000 Adv. Server sp4) noticed, that Processor time counter of a big 6xXeon 700 system drops in few seconds from ~80% to 0% in the middle of a work time. Manual restart corrected the problem, but I am very curious about what has happened? Just before this the following error happened several times:

    (no other error, that could address this problem, neither in windows log nor in ms sql error logs were found)

    Event Type:Warning

    Event Source:Npfs

    Event Category:None

    Event ID:54

    Date:17.07.2003

    Time:13:45:42

    User:N/A

    Computer:JUPITER

    Description:

    An Io Request to the device \Device\NamedPipe did not complete or canceled within the specific timeout. This can occur if the device driver does not set a cancel routine for a given IO request packet.

    Data:

  • Just a thought... we were using named-pipes and had network time-out issues. Named pipes doesn't support buffering the same way TCP/IP does. I would recommend using only TCP/IP if at all possible. Look at the SQL Books Online for "Named Pipes, Named Pipes vs. TCP/IP Sockets"

    - Not possible at this time, too many apps to rewrite or change.
