Article ID: 967164 - View products that this article applies to.
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

On a Windows Server 2003-based server that has Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 installed, consider the following scenarios:
  • You are running a DBCC command on a large database. For example, you are running the DBCC CHECKDB statement on the database. At the same time, you run many DML statements on the database.
  • You create a database snapshot for a large database. At the same time, you are running many DML statements on the database.
In these scenarios, the SQL Server service stops responding. The DBCC CHECK statement is never completed, and you receive the following error message repeatedly:
The operating system returned error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x0000159d8ae000 in file with handle 0x0000000000000AAC. This is usually a temporary condition and the SQL Server will keep retrying the operation. If the condition persists then immediate action must be taken to correct it.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the sparse file for a database snapshot file has exceeded the file size limitation in NTFS file system. When the operating system error 1450 occurs, SQL Server enters an infinite retry loop.

MORE INFORMATION

After you apply this hotfix, for scenario 1, the DBCC command stops immediately when the first error 1450 is encountered. For scenario 2, the snapshot database is marked as suspect when the first error 1450 is encountered for a write to the snapshot file. Additionally, you see error messages that resemble the following in the SQL Server error log file:

Date Time SPID The operating system returned error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x0000159655e000 in file 'C:\SparseFileProblem\snapshotdb.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level 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.
Date Time SPID Error: 17053, Severity: 16, State: 1.
Date Time SPID C:\SparseFileProblem\ snapshotdb.mdf: Operating system error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) encountered.
Date Time SPID Error: 3420, Severity: 21, State: 1.
Date Time SPID Database snapshot 'fillvmsnap' has failed an IO operation and is marked suspect. It must be dropped and recreated.
