Microsoft distributes 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 2008 fix release.

Symptoms

In a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 cluster environment, the SQL Server service takes a long time to stop when there is a high load on the server. Additionally, the service state is changed to "Stop Pending" and you cannot restart the SQL Server service. You also find error messages that resemble the following are logged in the Windows Cluster log:

Cause

When the cluster service checks the status of the SQL Server service, the cluster service runs the IsAlive query. If the IsAlive query times out, the cluster service recycles the Rhs.exe process that hosts the .dll files of the SQL Server resources. The .dll files of the SQL Server resources start a SQL Server shutdown process. When the SQL Server shutdown process exceeds the time that is specified in the DeadlockTimeout property, the service cannot stop, and the state becomes "Stop Pending." This service state prevents the SQL Server service from restarting.
