  • Check the SQL error log, there will be messages in there saying why SQL marked the database suspect.

    You've probably got some hardware problems, check error and event logs for your storage.

  • Yes. Tha't true, it might be SQL patches. 🙂

  • No, it won't be SQL patches. It might be hardware problems.

  • Hi satish,

    Could you please give more information. Like for instance is the database a production database or a standby database (in a logshipping configuration), SQL Server version, etc. Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Salone,

    This is the Production server, using SQL server 2005 & Mirror configuration with SP2

    Thank You...

    Without those error messages, no way to say anything.

    I had once a suspect database but on a log shipping configuration and it was the standby database, it looks that when you are log shipping and you leave the secondary database in readonly mode, the database can become suspect, it was a bug in SQL 2005 prior to SP3. Thank you for the information, but since it is not log shipping, I will agree with Gail, you must tell us what does the SQL error log and the storage event log say. Thanks in advance.
