Hi All,
There is a maintenance plan for checkdb that runs at 11pm on Saturdays for our ABCD database. This typically takes under 5 hours.
We see quite a number of timeouts in our application which coincide with the running of this plan. We would like to know if there are any recommendations you may have which can make the running of this plan more efficient?
We have a AlwaysOn secondary, so could any of the work load be put on it? Or are there any other strategies which you might recommend?
At this point we are just looking for some recommendations which we can then present to management so a decision can be made on what to do. Such as reduce frequency of checkdb, or take application outage, or whatever it may be.
Thanks in advance.
