I have a client that uses SQL 2008 for their Line of Business DB. The DB is currently less than 600MB in size. I inherited the current install but the server continues to show high memory and disk utilization. The current install is Windows 2008 R2 VM, Static 4GB with a single hard drive, Static not Dynamic in size with SQL 2008 installed on the same drive. The VM is running a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V on physical SSD's in RAID-1.
I am not a SQL guru by any means, but I always thought the different functions of SQL should be on separate drives/volumes (TEMP/LOGS/DB). Is this no longer correct?
There are only 15 users accessing the DB with more reads than writes. I would like to get a handle on the disk/memory utilization before it becomes an issue the end-users know.
Any help or recommendations would be awesome!
