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?

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
