Database frequently going to suspect Mode

  • Folks

    This is my first post

    Q)One of our Production Database is frequently going to suspect(it is happening actually when scheduled nightly backup happening through Mplan

    when i checked in the error logs it is showing the following error

    Database suspect (xyz) sqlserver error log Message

    1)Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) during the creation/opening of physical device

    2)FCB::Open failed: Could not open device F:ewfolder\data\xyz_Data.MDF for virtual device number (VDN) 1.

    3)[298] SQLServer Error: 4060, Cannot open database requested in login

    When i restarted the production Server then DB is up & Online

    Let me Know the cause of Suspect States. & How to analyze the root cause for this issue.

    and i know every time restarting the Production is not recommended but (time Being its restarted.)

    At the same time My Temp Db is also growing .

    is there any relation between suspect status With tempdb

    we are using sqlserver 2000

    Something's locking the file and preventing SQL from opening it. Check that if you have antivirus, the file exclusions are set correctly.

    p.s. please post SQL 2000 questions in the SQL 2000 forum in future.
