| In the past three weeks our SQL 2K Server(8.00.760) on windows 2003 will just hang & needs to be re-booted, in the Event Viewer the message :“The driver for device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 delayed non-paging Io requests for 0 ms to recover from a low memory condition."Appears before the system hangs. Do I need to change the settings in sp_configure (Min Server Memory, Max Server Memory, etc) or dose the page file option needs to be adjusted (increase/decrease). Information on what is causing the event & how to prevent it is greatly appreciated. |

| It sounds like you have a memory bottleneck. So you'll need to add memory to fix it.Tara |

| I found the solution to this condition. Check you Performance settings. Make sure the Memory usage is set to Programs and NOT system cahce. Mine was system cache and when I ran Backup Exec Restores I would drop to 1.5K free and get the Event 119 errors. After changing the setting to give Programs preference I never dropped below 500K. Hope this helps someone else as the tracking on this problem was very thin. |
