Dear all,We have a sql 2k5 along with SP2 also we have performed logshipping of various databases .But it has been observed that cpu utilisation for sqlserver.exe remains between 75 to 90 % on the system and it is very critical.Also i have got the output of sp_who2 active in which i found that most of the cpu is taken by LAZY WRITER and LOG WRITER processes.Please help me to find the way out. |

Steel, there can be several reasons for this is this all and sudden you are getting this spike in cpu utilization? in order to resolve your issue we need some more information (have you rebuild indexes lately, are statistics are up to date?)You can run sql profiler or server side trace to narrow down on reasons..? |

Check these articles out for finding problematic queries.http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/performance/finding-the-causes-of-poor-performance-in-sql-server,-part-1/http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/performance/finding-the-causes-of-poor-performance-in-sql-server,-part-2/What's your disk utilisation like? (check Physical Disk:Avg sec/read, Physical Disk:Avg sec/write and Physical Disk:% idle time in perfmon). What's the disk layout? (Raid level, number of arrays, files on arrays, etc)Lots of waits on Lazy writer and log writes suggest disk bottlenecks.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
