Hey Guys,
I'm far from a DBA. My SQL knowledge is pretty low. But here is what I have:
1 Physical SQL Server 2008R2 (Newest SPs/Hotfixes) 2x Quad Core Xeon's 32GB DDR3 ECC Intel RS2BL080 RAID Controller w/BBU 2x 15k SAS RAID1 (OS) 4x 15k SAS RAID10 (DB)
We have two primary Databases that really see activity. All DBs total under 250GB. All the DB stuff is on the RAID10. DB+Logs.
Everything was fine until we updated our primary app that uses the database, and it has totally wrecked our performance. Our write latency has tripled (from an avg of 5ms to 15ms now), SQL Lock Timeouts, LatchWaitTime, PageWrites, and Latches has nearly doubled or tripled since the update. (I can provide a ton of historical performance graphs of anyone is curious)
My thinking here is to VMWare Convert and vMotion the SQL server over to our ESXi Host, replace all the...
