Production Issues..need help

  • Hi All,

    Last night I have noticed the following errors around 2:00AM.

    There are 10 of these errors:

    The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID, which had been reset for connection pooling. The failure ID is 29. This error may have been caused by an earlier operation failing. Check the error logs for failed operations immediately before this error message

    followed by:

    Resource Monitor (0x830) Worker 0x000000008004C1A0 appears to be non-yielding on Node 0. Memory freed: 19728 KB. Approx CPU Used: kernel 62 ms, user 0 ms, Interval: 60091.

    A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in a performance degradation. Duration: 0 seconds. Working set (KB): 12175692, committed (KB): 27128316, memory utilization: 44%.

    Currently SQLServer service account is part of lock pages in memory local policy, and max mem setting is 25.6 GB. This is a sql server 2008 R2 SE on Windows Server 2008 R2 SE server with 32GB of memory

    The problem is we got high alerts stating DB Server is down and all the client connections were dropped.

    Need your inputs friends...Thanks a bunch in advance.

  • Thanks Paul. We dont have any applications on the Production Database Server except for SQL server. What was happening was some of the backup files were being moved to an external hard drive around the same time and this has caused high IO.

    File copies require memory, like any other operation. That file copy would be the thing that triggered a low memory warning and made the OS page SQL Server out.
