  • hi m getting Page Latch 6:1:0 wht shud i do ..... how do i bring this down...

    add more tempdb files

    TempDB is database ID 2, not database ID 6

    samsql: Are you getting latch waits? What's happening at the time? Can you post full message if there's any error message

    Page 0 of file 1 of database 6 is the database header page. The only time it should be read is when the database is opened. Unless the DB has autoclose on, that should only be when SQL starts

  • When an SPID is waiting for an I/O page latch, you may notice that the blocked column briefly reports that the SPID is blocking itself. This behavior is a side effect of the way that latches are used for I/O operations on data pages...

  • Sam,

    As said above, DB Id 6 refers to User database. You can check this url for details on latch wait types.

    Here goes explanation for wait types given :

    PAGEIOLATCH_EX --> Resource Waiting on an exclusive buffer latch when the buffer is an IO request

    PAGEIOLATCH_SH --> Resource Waiting on a shared buffer latch when the buffer is an IO request.

    You should expect some waits on a busy system. This is completely normal and doesn't necessarily translate into a performance issue. Wait events become a problem if they tend to be consistently long over a significant period of time. For example, waits that take few milliseconds over a 2 hour monitoring window are not concerning. Those waits taking over 15 minutes over a 2 hour monitoring window should be investigated more closely.

    Try to run Disk Repair utility to check the status of your disk and also check for any hardware failure. May be you can change disks or move the same database to different server and check whether you are getting same error.

    Please post when you are getting this error? Like during backup or during Services Start.... It will give a clue of what is happening!

    Latch waits? What's the wait time on them?

    IO latch waits are indicative of IO bottleneck. What's the layout of your IO system? What files are where? What raid level?

    What do the following perfmon counters look like?

    Avg sec/read

    Avg sec/write

    % idle time
