Hi,

Firstly thank you for looking at this post.

I have 3 named instances installed one box.

The instances respond ok with the exception of one.

Not sure why one of the instances responds so slowly.

please help.

Kind Regards

Pete.

When you say it "responds slowly" - what do you mean? Is it a specifi query - or something else you are trying to do?
If you could post some extra detail please

1)Have you checked that there aren't any processes on your server using excessive CPU , or other resources?
2)Are there any jobs , or background activities on the errant instance?
3)Have you allocated sufficient resources for the third instance?Check in the memory options?

Hi Jackv

1). no rouge processes
2). no jobs other than db backup
3). plenty resources......

still not sure why its ruuning slower than the others.

the only diff i found was collation was different on this instance? whould that be anything?


Kind Regards

Have you checked in Activity Monitor for that particular instance ? are there any open transactions?
Could you post the Min server memory and max server memory of that instance , and is that similar to the other instances?Also could you let me know the physical memory of the server.
The tests that you are running across the 3 instances , are they the same?. If not , could your try running similar tests across the 3 instances .
Which sql server edition are you running?

How are you connecting to each instance? TCP IP with different ports?

I would suggest giving each instance a specific port, try connecting to it via IP:PORT 192.168.0.2:1434
192.168.0.2:1433
etc
