Tempdb full

in a situation where tempdb is full - both data and log (meaning disk is full) - then what are the possible solutions :
- find spid filling up tempdb and kill spid to free up space in tempdb - is this possible?
- backup log tempdb - use with truncate_only/no_log if regular backup is not possible.
- shrink tempdb
- move tempdb mdf/ldf to another spacious device with : alter database tempdb modify file - will this require a sqlserver shutdown or can it be done when sqlserver is online?
- restart sqlserver
appreciate the insights.

If you kill the transaction then its going to take more time and resources for rollback and database may got recovery and will create more issue.
No you cant do anything against tempdb related to backup
you cant shrink the tempdb if the transaction is active and long running.
Yes you have allow tempdb to grow enough based on the server behaviour...
TempDB is critical to performance; many, many user and system actions make use of tempDB, like cursors, temp tables, hash table for sorts, reindexing, and so on. Take care of TempDB before you even separate out your OLTP data and log files.
A good rule of thumb is to have one TempDB data file per physical core. For example, if your server has two quad-core processors, you’d want eight TempDB files (one .mdf file and seven .ndf files)...But, that's only a rule of thumb.
Once again if you restart the sql it will rollback the transaction and nothing is going to help with your issue.
Just divide your transactions into multiple small small parts, and make your transactions simple and short. and configure the tempdb correctly and with same space to all files.
Just check all the temp tables, varilabe and all other obejects related to sql and server behaviour and the decide or configure the tempdb...
For example if your transaction is very small , may be 200 MB then restart and other stull will helps you...
Restart SQL Server.
Try to shrink the TempDB database.
But if the transaction is 100 GB then you cant do this and also if it is production system you cant restart any time and its not a best approach.. so you have to find a way to fix this as a long term solution..

How you will configure Tempdb ???
This is one of the biggest "It Depends..." that exists in SQL Server. It all depends on how your SQL Server uses tempdb. If you don't make use of tempdb then you won't have a significant amount of contention on the allocation bitmap
pages and therefore won't need as many files to alleviate the contention. The whole point behind having multiple files is that each file gets separate GAM, SGAM, and PFS allocation pages, so as round-robin allocation and proportional fill are used to
write data to the data files, you spread the access to these pages across multiple files and reduce the contention on them. The size question is strictly based on your specific environment, just take whatever size tempdb needs to be in total, and then
divide that by the number of files being created, and create each file exactly the same size. Then make sure that you set AutoGrow for the files exactly the same as well so that they grow the same way and maintain the same size, otherwise one file could
become an allocation hot spot if it grows larger and has a larger proportion of free space in it.
Last year at PASS 2011 Bob Ward, one the Sr Escalation Engineers for SQL, made the following recommendation which will be updated in the Microsoft references that other people provided on this thread:
As a general rule, if the number of logical processors is less than 8, use the same number of data files as logical processors. If the number of logical processors is greater than 8, use 8 data files and then if contention continues, increase the number
of data files by multiples of 4 (up to the number of logical processors) until the contention is reduced to acceptable levels or make changes to the workload/code.
The other thing I'd recommend if you have excessive contention at 8+ files is to follow the last part of that general recommendation, and make changes to the workload and code because the excessive use of tempdb is still a bottleneck that in most cases
can be fixed by changing how your code works and doing some basic tuning.

Hello,
as the message stated correctly is the tempdb full:
Logical File Name: tempdev
File Size(MB): 20,000
File Size Limit(MB): 20000
Logical File Name: tempdb_1_Data
File Size(MB): 14,999
File Size Limit(MB): 15000
Logical File Name: tempdb_2_Data
File Size(MB): 15,000
File Size Limit(MB): 15000
All files of the tempdb are restricted in size and already expanded to their maximum size. You now can either
- add another file on a disk with free space and let the file grow
- let the existing files grow to an higher amount
Best regards

Could not allocate space for object temporary system object: ... in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full.

Using SQL Server 2008 R2. Tempdb resides on disks W and X
both of those are 250 GB each. Nothing else resides on these disks. The recovery mode for tempdb is set to Simple and is split in 8 files and one log file. Each of the tempdb file is set for auto growth by 128 MB and max size is unlimited. The log file is
set for auto growth by 10% and max size unlimited.
I get the following error at least once a week while running an ETL:
[SQLSTATE 01003] (Message 8153) Could not allocate space for object '<temporary system object: 335532118192937>' in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup,
adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000). The step failed.
I have to then shrink the tempdb log and files to create space on the disks.
What is a permanent solution to this problem, I don't want my ETL to break due to TempDB diskspace full.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Permanent solution would be finding out query which is causing tempdb log file to grow out of proportion and fill it and I would like you to take help of below article
Troubleshooting out of space issue in Tempdb
Please change Autogrowth value for Log file from 10 % to may be 100 M. This is just a tentative value you need to study
growth of tempdb to reach to correct value. You kept 128 MB autogrowth for tempdb data file is this value tentative or you just put it.

Tempdb getting full but nothing is running on database server.

Hi Experts,
I observe stange behaviour last from couple of days tempdb log getting full periodically but looking at the running transaction nothing is running specfically on server whihc cal fill tempdb log.
can anyone suggest in this.
Shivraj Patil.

To what size is the tempdb tlog growing? Make sure you don't have auto-growth disabled on the tempdb tlog file. Also make sure there isn't a low max size specified for the tlog file. Only UNDO information is stored in the tempdb log (no REDO information),
so it should NOT bloat so much as other user DBs unless you have a runaway query consuming too much tlog space.

Tempdb log file is full

Hi DBA's,
my tempdb log file is 500mb size , auto growth enabled and log file used max.
now I am unable to insert or update and it is allowing only read operations.
what to do in this situation ?

is it 500 mb or gb??
either way, 500mb is too small and 500 gb is too big for a log file and you need fix that.
if it is 500 mb, i would not worr much but increase the file size. do you have space on the existing disk to accomddate some growth to the log file.
if not, can you add nother log file on another disk and presize it correctly(to more optimal size)
and when possible , remove the old 500mb log file and restart the server. you do not necessarily need multiple log file drives.
if it is 500 GB, there must some large open transactions and may be the growth was linear.
to find the current size of tempdb
sp_helpdb 'TempDB'
select Name,((size*8)/1024) as SIZE_IN_MB from Tempdb.sys.database_files
Hope it Helps!!

TempDB autogrowth is full

Hi,
I am running a SQL Server job which is failing now with the error message
"Could not allocate a new page for database 'TEMPDB' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'DEFAULT'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing
files in the filegroup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1101). The step failed."
Could you please let me know what can be done to resolve this issue, This needs to be resolved as soon as possible because its a Produciton issue. Thanks in advance!

Fazlu

Check tempdb is set to autogrow if yes then probably you dont have space is disk for tempdb to grow. See if you can make space in the drive or else you can restart SQL immediately to free up tempdb. But in long run you have enough space for tempdb to grow
as per load.

SAP ERP 6.0 / Sol. Man. 4.0 Installation Guide say "after initial installation of the database software, the tempdb is located in a subdirectory of \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server. However later, when SAPinst builds and loads the database, it is transferred to a new \TEMPDB directory and extended to a size of 300 MB."
I finished the installation some days ago but I still see file tempdb.mdf & templog.ldf in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\
May I delete these files because tempdb DB currently use the 2 files in \TEMPDB directory?
Regards,
Toan Do

HI,
Moving the tempdb database
As the tempdb database is constantly being used by the SQL Server, it cannot be moved using the same process described above (sp_detach_db, sp_attach_db). Instead, you must use the 'alter database modify file' command.
a) First display all tempdb database files using the following command:
select convert(char(20),name) as name, filename from tempdb..sysfiles
name filename
tempdev d:\TEMPDB\TEMPDB.MDF
templog d:\TEMPDB\TEMPLOG.LDF
(2 row(s) affected)
b) Set a new storage location for the files by executing an ALTER DATABASE for each file:
Example:
alter database tempdb
 modify file (name=tempdev,filename='E:\NEW\tempdb.mdf')
alter database tempdb
 modify file (name=templog,filename='E:\NEW\templog.ldf')
c) Restart your SQL Server. The tempdb database is created again during each restart of the SQL Server. In this case, the files are now created in the new directory.
d) Use the NT Explorer to delete the old database files for the tempdb.
e) We recommend that you make a full backup of the master database after the change.

Temp db is full

Hi all. Please let me know what needs to be done in below scenario.
TempDB is full. Unable to expand the databases and unable to open a new
query window. We should not restart sql services or restart the server.
How to fix this.

First of all that is not a very good question in sense that if you would have searched a bit you could have found a answer specially How to
Troubleshoot Insufficient disk space on Tempdb
You have to anyhow add additional disk space to tempdb data file or
add an extra file on drive where space is present so that tempdb can grow and transaction which requires tempdb can complete than you can decide further course of action. Adding a disk space or additional drive is correct solution here.
You should place disk monitoring in place to inform you when disk space crosses particular threshold you should also find why transaction log file of tempdb grew out of proportion

TempDB mdf error

Hi Experts,
We are receiving this error to TEMPDB MDF :
SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: incorrect checksum (expected: 0xcdda157a; actual: 0x7fec48fa). It occurred during a read of page (1:32448) in database ID 2 at offset 0x0000000fd80000 in file 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.abcSSQL01\MSSQL\DATA\tempdb.mdf'.
Additional messages in the SQL Server error log or system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This
error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
SQL Errorlog says:
DBCC CHECKDB (tempdb) executed by abc-usa\sqldba1 found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors. Elapsed time: 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds and errors related to any drives in event log.
When we got his error few days back we RESTARTED SQL but again today it is appearing.
I googled for this, we get many solutions for all other databases except tempDB mdf file issue, can someone help me how to fix this issue as RESTARTING did not fix thought tempDB gets created every restart.
Thanks in advance.

You might want to delete those tempdb files after stopping the server
http://www.sqlsoldier.com/wp/sqlserver/day14of31daysofdisasterrecoveryfixingacorrupttempdb
The fix for tempdb corruption is simple. Shut down SQL Server, delete the tempdb files, and start SQL Server again. What I find instead is that many people
have come to believe that all they need to do is restart SQL Server and the tempdb files will be recreated new. This is the fault of Books Online. Books Online states that the tempdb files are recreated each time the SQL service starts. This is a myth that
was proven false by Jonathan Kehayias (blog|@SQ:Poolboy)

High Write Stalls on Tempdb .mdf and .ndf

Hi All,
We are seeing quite slow writes to our tempdb database files. The tempdb log file writes are under 8ms, which is good, but for whatever reason the database files are registering ~250 ms stalls. According to people that know more than I do, these
numbers are horrific. But isn't the write speed to the .ldf far more important since it writes to the log immediately, and once it is written to the log the client gets the success response? Or do writes to tempdb work differently? Thanks
a ton for any help!

Yes the numbers are terrible, anything over about 40ms is bad, and these days with people using SSDs for stuff you might be seeing more like 4ms or less.
Are these on a SAN or local drives?
Also check your disk queues, read and write queues.
I have seen anomalies that I've never had explained, that suggest to me SQL Server may sometimes queue up a bunch of stuff all at once that then vanishes at full disk speed, leaving behind some bad statistics but no real bad news except that you're doing
a lot of writes. So as usual, it's never necessary to panic on just some single bad number that may be explained away, but take a look at your overall system performance, and if transactions are taking a lot longer in duration than their CPU times, *then*
it may be time to panic.
Simple disk contention can be the cause, but that should show quickly in the queues. Are there other uses of the J: drive? But then, your log is on J: as well and is not showing those delays. Well then, is tempdb expanding? The time
to expand may load a huge delay in now and then that is then averaged down but is not really occurring with every write.

The transaction log for database 'EMP_SP_SearchApp_CrawlStoreDB_32fdb1522c5249088db8b09c1917dbec' is full due to 'ACTIVE_TRANSACTION'

Hi
we have a sharepoint farm for uploading documents in huge number daily and we conifgured RBS for sql server content db.
we are facing issue in sql server instance:
Suddenly the SQL server instance restarts and sometimes failover to node1 and sometimes just restart and keep running on the current server
and did some invistagations we found that
-Analysis of data shows that the slowness of IO for tempdb.ldf is cause of the issue
-tried to check tempdb using db properties but I couldn’t see the properties it gives me error,
-There might be a big transaction locking the tempdb.
Also noted that there are lot of errors:
The transaction log for database 'MOJSP_SearchApp_CrawlStoreDB_32fdb1522c5249088db8b09c1917dbec' is full due to 'ACTIVE_TRANSACTION'
This might also be part of the problem causing locking.
we found the errors like
The transaction log for database 'EMP_SP_SearchApp_CrawlStoreDB_32fdb1522c5249088db8b09c1917dbec' is full due to 'ACTIVE_TRANSACTION'
I see that log_reuse_wait_desc (reuse of transaction log space is currently waiting on as of the last checkpoint) is 'ACTIVE_TRANSACTION'

Hi Adil,
Method1:
On your SharePoint SQL Server database, open the SQL Server Management Studio.
Connect to the local SQL Server.
Right click Your Database Name.
Go to -> Properties -> Options.
Change Recover Model from Full to Simple -> Click OK.
Right click Your Database Name, go to Tasks -> Shrink -> Shrink Files.
Select a File type of Log, then Shrink.
Method2:
Run SQL Management Studio and login to your SharePoint instance.
Click on "New Query".
Type in the following commands:
USE [database name];
BACKUP LOG [Your Database Name] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY;
DBCC
SHRINKFILE ([Your Log File Name], 1);
Replace [Your Database Name] and [Your Log File Name] with your log file.
This will truncate your log file to 1mb.
Method3:
Issue CHECKPOINT on the tempdb
USE tempdb
GO
CHECKPOINT
GO
Take Transactional log backup on the user database
BACKUP LOG CustomerXS TO DISK = N'M:\MSSQL\Backup\MSSQLSERVER\XS and RT\XS_Movement.trn' WITH COMPRESSION GO

Tempdb full
