Server slowness

  • One of our critical servers started to perform very slow since yesterday. Here is the detail:

    SQL Server and Windows detail:

    Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2282 (Intel X86) Dec 30 2008 02:22:41 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

    I see few(around 40) PAGEIOLATCH_SH waittypes most of them sleeping. Memory utilization and cpu utilization is normal(under 50%).

    avg disk Q length looks a bit on higher side (>30)

    What else should i look at?

  • Just to update that we found the issue. Batteries of one of the controllers had failed. the read/write cache was disabled and hence the slowness and low disk throughput. it has been replaced and system looks better now.
