Monitoring SQL Server 2012

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone is monitoring SQL Server 2012 with Grid Control. We are using Grid Control 11g and I can't get it to work. Oracle Support tell me its not certified with 11g or 12c ... so just wondering if anyone has got it to work anyway....
thanks

The latest available version of the plug-in i.e. 12.1.0.2. doesn't support Sql server 2012. Please wait till version version 12.1.0.3 is out along with the latest version of EM 12c platform PS2 i.e. 12.1.0.3

Some of the SQL Server 2012 are not getting monitored in SCOM 2012 SP1.( basics monitoring is happening, expect SQL role)

Found that all the SQL servers are getting monitored, expect few servers which are having SQL server 2012 role.
proxy is enabled for these servers, when I checked discovered inventory for SQL 2012 database unable to find these servers in that list.
and other servers having SQL Server 2012 monitoring properly issue is with only few servers.

Hi,
thanks for the all the input, we are using service account as windows account instead of action account !!
will that also affect discovery of SQL role?
and also found that there are many alerts in SCOM console, with alert description :
SQL Server cannot authenticate using Kerberos because the Service Principal Name
(SPN) is missing, misplaced, or duplicated.
please let me know how we can resolve this issue, will it affect SQL discovery as well ?

SQL Server 2012 - RESOURCE MONITOR / PREEMPTIVE_XE_CALLBACKEXECUTE high CPU usage

Hello,
We are currently in the process of migrating an existing clustered SQL Server 2008 R2 instance over to a clustered SQL Server 2012 instance as we phase out the Windows Server 2008 with SQL Server 2008 R2.
The setup is identical for the SQL Server 2012 instance as it is on the SQL Server 2008 R2 instance. (meaning the RAM and CPU are both the same or better on the SQL Server 2012 instance)
The process in which we are migrating is that we're moving a few databases over to the new SQL Server 2012 instance each night. What we've noticed is that the CPU usage is much higher on the SQL Server 2012 instance than on the previous
SQL Server 2008 R2 instance even though the there is only 1/2 of the databases migrated to the 2012 instance.
Running the following script:
;with cte ([totalCPU]) as (select sum(cpu) from master.dbo.sysprocesses)
select
tblSysprocess.spid
, tblSysprocess.cpu
, CONVERT(BIGINT,(tblSysprocess.cpu * CONVERT(BIGINT,100))) / CONVERT(BIGINT, cte.totalCPU) as [percentileCPU]
, tblSysprocess.physical_io
, tblSysprocess.memusage
, tblSysprocess.cmd
, tblSysProcess.lastwaittype
from master.dbo.sysprocesses tblSysprocess
cross apply cte
order by tblSysprocess.cpu desc
Produces the following results:
In a clustered environment, is this normal and if not, does anyone know what this means or how to reduce the CPU usage?
Thanks.

Hello,
The following query may help us identify extended events or audit configurations running on that SQL Server server that are producing that high CPU usage scenario.
SELECT
s.name
AS 'Sessions'
FROM
sys.server_event_sessions
AS s
WHERE
s.name
<> 'system_health'
and s.name
<> 'AlwaysOn_health';
Hope this helps.

Unable to run sql server 2012 setup

Hi All,
I installed SharePoint 2013 on Application Server and Database(Sql Server 2012) on another server. But for reporting application I need to install some components of SQL on Application Server as well. When I try to run the installer it crashes and
shows this below dialog box.
When I debug this I get the below error.
I saw some suggestions saying it won't work with Remote Desktop so directly connected the monitor to the server and tried to install but nothing works again. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you install the .net framework 4.0?
Meanwhile, for the SQL issue, i think you may ask in SQL forums:

Excel 2007 Download Error from SQL Server 2012

Thank you for your help/comments in advance
We are running SQL Server 2012, downloading SSRS reports into Excel 2007.
The report renders to the monitor just fine.
Most downloads are fine but we get an error with the largest downloads (common denominator) but can be hit or miss. Usually a second try it will download. Today we tried numerous times and kept getting the error.
I saw a link to a service pack fix ...https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255234(v=sql.110).aspx which somewhat fits my issue.

Using WMI alert for mirroring in Sql server 2012

We are using mirroring in Sql Server 2012 and we are using WMI alerts for some of events such as Connection lost,Manual failover,...
In alert definition we have set the followings:
Type: WMI event alert
NameSpace:
\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
The alert is bing triggered correctly,but on email description instead of having meaningful explaination like 'Connection lost',We have the same query:
Query: select * from DATABASE_MIRRORING_STATE_CHANGE where State = 6
We have used the same implementation in our Sql Server 2008 servers and it is working fine.This mashine (Sql Server 2012) is a new mashine.
I would appreciate if someone help me on this.AlsoI checked and 'Include body of e-mail in notification message' was already set.
Thanks

SQL server 2012 Enterprise problems

Hello to Everybody!
In my company we are using the evaluating version of SQL server 2012 Enterprise. We have installed the DB into a Windows server 2008 R2 64bit with RAM 32GB and Intel Xeon CPU E5-2620 (2 processors).
We access the SQL db with a PLM software to manage materials and components codifications.
Our users tell me that every hour ca the system freeze and remains blocked for about a minute or two. Then the block passes and the situation becames normal again. Users don't lost the work began before the block and can continue to work after it.
Did you have already heard something like this? How can we solve?
Thank you in advice

AWE with SQL Server 2012

Good day. Here is my story.
I am a noobie. Please be gentle. :-)
RAMMap says that AWE is chewing up most of the memory.
The machine is a virtual computer (free ESXi) with Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012.
The VM has 16GB RAM total with 10GB allocated to the SQL Server.
Minimum server memory is set to 0MB, maximum server memory is set to 5120MB.
Locked Pages in Memory is not defined in the Local Policy (or in the Domain GPO if that matters).
There is also an install of Symantec Backup Exec on this computer which uses SQL Server 2005. All services to do with Backup Exec and its associated SQL server instance are disabled. However, if I start this SQL server instance and look, AWE
is not checked.
If I reboot the SQL Server AWE shows just over 500MB usage but over the next 24 hours this will grow to over 4GB.
I have Googled for several hours but have not found a solution.
Thanks for your time, folks,
David Chapman

Hi,
>>RAMMap says that AWE is chewing up most of the memory.
I do not use RAMMap or task manager to look at memory consumed by SQL Server.AWE has no significance in 64 bit.Its helpful in 32 bit allowing SQL Server to access memory beyond its VAS limit.RAMap is windows tool to monitor windows memory allocation not
SQL Server.Below query will give you memory used by SQL Server
>>Minimum server memory is set to 0MB, maximum server memory is set to 5120MB.
You can put minimum memory to 512 MB and SQL server memory to 6 G or 6.5 G.I guess 3-3.5 is enough for OS.Unless you have calculated it specifically.
Please post output of below
select
(physical_memory_in_use_kb/1024)Memory_usedby_Sqlserver_MB,
(locked_page_allocations_kb/1024 )Locked_pages_used_Sqlserver_MB,
(total_virtual_address_space_kb/1024 )Total_VAS_in_MB,
process_physical_memory_low,
process_virtual_memory_low
from sys. dm_os_process_memory
PS: SQL Server consuming memory is normal Behavior doont be alarmed by it.

SQL Server 2012- Memory Leak Issue

Team,
We are running a Mission Critical Application on SQL Server 2012 SP2(11.0.5058) which is configured on Always ON Synchronous mode. Offlate due to heavy development work, Application team have come up with stating memory issues. I have analysed all the areas
and everything looks normal. Please suggest if we have to patch the latest CU4 for SQL Server 2012 SP2.
The checks were performed on the below areas:
- Errorlog, System Logs - No errors reported.
- There are close to 8 Databases hosted on the instances which are all configured for AlwaysON. SQL Server is running on VM Infrastructure and the total physical memory allocated is 96GB out of which SQL is capped for 92GB.
-The Page Life Expectancy is healthy and is showing a greater number. There are no Signal waits either or pending memory grants.
- The writes are more than reads for one of the databases which is flagged with application team. There are no blockings & Deadlocks.
Please suggest me the future course of action and your inputs are much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sharath

Actual issue is- Application team have reported a memory leak and their builds have significantly slowed down. They suspect that its Database memory leak. However I have verified from database end and gave the above inputs.
The AOAGs are good. I was looking for any pointers whether there are any bugs which is related to memory leaks in SQL Server 2012. I know all of them are addressed with SQL Server 2012 SP2.
Application team has NO idea about SQL Server do they ? And to say SQL Server has memory leak you have to actually prove it did they showed any proof. Its common for application team to say SQL Server is leaking memory because they are unaware about fact
by default SQL Server would take as much memory as possible and would release when SQLOS asks it to do so. This might give sign that it is leaking memory BUT IT IS NOT.
As you already said AOAG is working fine so I am presuming there is nothing much to worry. To monitor memory usage in SQL Server 2012 you can use below counters
SQL Server: Memory Manager-- Target Server Memory (KB)
SQL Server: Memory Manager--Total Server Memory (KB)
SQL Server: Memory Manager- Free Memory (KB)
SQL Server: Memory Manager--Database Cache Memory (KB)

Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

Hello,
I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following exception:
'login failed for user sa'.
Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

Hi moncadad,
When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

MS SQL Server 2012 SP2 post-installation error

Hi all,
Windows update gave me an option to install updates for my MS SQL Server 2012. One was the SP1 and the other was the SP2. During that time i selected both but in the end the update for 'Security Update for
SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2977326)' failed and the update for 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 (KB2958429)' succeeded.
What i saw then when I run management studio and did a select top 100 rows command on a table I got the below error:
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Util.BytesToHexString(Byte[], Int32)'.
This happens only for select statements. Edit and all other works fine. Does anybody know about this issue?
Thanks for you time. :)

Hi DBTheoN,
We check whether a program is an add-in from "Programs and Features" based on experience. I understand it is a little hard.
So, here I have another way to check which assemblies are being loading during the querying. That, we can follow these steps:
Download
Process Monitor
Open Process Monitor and start monitoring
Open SQL Server Management Studio, and then execute the query
Stop the monitoring
From Process Monitor, filter the result by Process name(ssms.exe), Event Class(File IO) and Path(End With .dll)
Save it and share it with us
Once I receive the log, I will help to analyze it.
Thanks,
Jinchun Chen

I guess you allocated 100 G(arbitrary value) to buffer pool. Even though in SQL Server 2012 buffer pool was changed to cater to memory requests for many processes which were previously satisfied by Windows API directly (not from buffer pool) still there
are processes which can cause memory allocation outside buffer pool and thus increase SQL server memory consumption more than what is assigned to buffer pool so what you are seeing IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlosteam/archive/2012/07/12/memory-manager-configuration-changes-in-sql-server-2012.aspx
Can you please post output of below query

How much RAM does your system has and what is Max server memory ?
SQL server once taken memory will not release until SQLOS asks it to do so upon seeing low memory notification flag. Memory is managed dynamically and SQL Server by default caches as much as possible to avoid I/O reads which is time taking an costly

Hello,
Are you trying to install SQL Server on a compressed or encrypted drive? SQL Server won’t install on a drive/folder with these attributes.
Are you trying to install SQL Server on a ReFS file system? It is not supported on SQL Server 2012.
Disable any security/antivirus software and download the media again. Mount the media (.ISO file) and try to install again.
Hope this helps.
