Troubleshooting Event ID: 333

-

 Issue

With Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you get the following events and the server performance may be degraded:
Type: ErrorDate: DateTime: TimeEvent ID: 333Source: Application PopupUser: N/AComputer: MachineNameDescription:An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry.
Additional symptoms that you might see with this event are the following:
  • Performance issues with the SQL databases.
  • Issues with cluster resources going offline.
  • File/Print server performance issues.
  • Login issues where you get insufficient memory errors and profile load issues.
  • Complete server hang.
  • SQL server error logs may report I/O related errors.

Solution

The Event ID 333s are written to the system event log if the Microsoft Windows operating system is not able to flush and write to the registry hive.
Event ID 333s can occur due to the following causes:
  • Cause 1 : There is a memory contention (Page pool/Non-page pool depletion, low system PTEs, and so on).
  • Cause 2 : An older filter/kernel driver is keeping the registry from being flushed.
  • Cause 3 : The disk subsystem is not able to handle the load (example: high disk queue lengths).
The first step towards solving the issue is to collect the required logs to be able to identify the exact cause. Nothing can be concluded by just looking at the events in the event viewer and by observing the symptom.
The following logs are required:
  • Performance Monitor (PerfMon ) logs with shorter sample intervals.
  • MemSnap/Poolmon Logs.
  • In extreme cases, a manually generated memory dump would also be required.
Troubleshooting for Cause 1:
Update to the latest kernel using Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 935926, A Windows Server 2003-based computer stops responding when the registry is in heavy use :

Update the SRV.SYS file using Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 955280, When you use a file handle for FileStream access in a SQL Server 2008 transaction, the transaction may randomly fail to commit in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition :

Update the VOLSNAP.SYS file using Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 940349, Availability of a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) update rollup package for Windows Server 2003 to resolve some VSS snapshot issues :

NOTE: At the time this article was written, the previously mentioned Microsoft Knowledge Base articles were the latest for the corresponding components. Check Microsoft’s support site to see if any newer versions of the respective files are available.
 
Troubleshooting for Cause 2:
From the HPS report, look at the SERVERNAME_PSTAT.txt file and see if you have any older filter drivers. Filter drivers are usually the drivers from anti-virus and backup software. Check the respective vendor’s sites.
 
Troubleshooting for Cause 3:
If you have identified the cause as a disk latency issue, then complete the following steps:
  1. Update Microsoft STORPORT.SYS to the latest version using Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 950903, The system may not detect that a logical unit was replaced on a Windows Server 2003-based computer .
  2. Identify the miniport driver version for the storage device that is configured on the server, and then update that by contacting the respective vendor.
    IMPORTANT : Before installing the STORPORT.SYS update, it is extremely important to engage the storage vendor first to ask which version of the Microsoft’s STORPORT.SYS that they approve and provide the update based on that. The storage vendor will not support all the versions of Microsoft’s STORPORT.SYS .
    It’s also important to maintain the order of the installation as specified.
