application issue with these SQL errors

  • Following error messages are logged in SQL Server 2000 instance.

    Database model: IO is thawed

    Database master: IO is frozen for snapshot

    The log for database 'tempdb' is not available..

    I dug into the issue some more and in the SQL Server log add found that immediately after the completion of Auto snapshot backup of all dbs. Since that process is very large, the tempdb might have been effected

  • Heard this from application owner:

    The dbs were not able to do any work because all temporary space was full. The resolution was to restart the server, releasing the temp space and restoring access. Users received a message indicating that the temp file was full and were not able to do anything.

    This has happened once that I know of in several years – we would like to know if we can re-engineer the back up process or take some other action to prevent this occurring again.

  • friends,

    any inputs on the above issue?

  • Those IO messages are normally associated with a backup process that uses VSS to do backups. Here's a blog post about it that has some links to some articles
