really appreciate the suggestions I am about to go through your tasks now, I also did some reading at home last night and thought it would not be a bad idea to perform vmdk integrity
The server utilizes a mix of virtual disk and raw mapped LUNS to the sans. I also have actually experienced failures in the past purely due to fragmentation as SQL can become rather messy quickly I use to resolve this problem by having Disk Keeper but powers that be made a huge error and allowed that and few other key pieces of software and maintenance expire. I am half tempted to go ahead and push 5.5 out today since I have most of it prepped and ready to go since 5.1 has been a real disappointment. I was -hoping- to get this clone taken care of as I am not only the VMWare admin but one of the DBA's here as well so I am probably going to get alittle lecture as i am behind on getting staging back up and yet to finish all the changes in stored procedures but not to get off tangent.
I cant for the life of me identify any clear reasons for these errors but I may be able to provide logs today as I am seeking approval after removing any naming, ips, schemes.
