SQL Server running slow(disk io )

  • What is your disk configuration? Where does the Log and Data file reside? By increasing the memory, it might give you a small respite to the sluggishness of the server but it will come back when it has to do reads and writes to your DB. That is why I asked about your disk configuration.

  • in order to determine if its a Disk or Ram issue check, Page life expectancy, min requirements is 500. This tells you that the pages are staying in the buffer for 5 min., 1,000 sec would be even better(10 min).

    But anything less then 500 you need more RAM, if its high and you are still experiencing slowness then you need to refer to the thread above and start looking at DISK.

    500 sec = 8 minutes 20 sec

    1000 sec = 16 min 40 sec

  • correct sorry its actually 300 sec..is the standard

  • Hi Roy,

    My DB files(mdf.ldf)is located on local drive.Does LDF file size make any impact on DML& DDL operations????

    Because ldf file size for each of the database is above 100GB.

    Thanks
