Database tempdb allocation errors prevent further processing.

Microsoft.SQLServer.2000.Database_tempdb_allocation_errors_prevent_further_processing (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Causes

The allocation checks on TEMPDB found allocation errors. Allocation errors cannot be fixed in TEMPDB, because TEMPDB cannot be taken offline. Therefore, the entire check operation is terminated.

Resolutions

HARDWARE FAILURE

Run hardware diagnostics and correct any problems. Also examine the Microsoft® Windows NT® system and application logs and the SQL Server™ error log to see if the error occurred as the result of hardware failure. Fix any hardware related problems.

If you have persistent data corruption problems, try to swap out different hardware components to isolate the problem. Check to ensure that your system does not have write caching enabled on the disk controller. If you suspect this to be the problem, contact your hardware vendor.

Finally, you might find it beneficial to switch to a completely new hardware system, including reformatting the disk drives and reinstalling the operating system.

RESTORE FROM BACKUP

If the problem is not hardware related and a known clean backup is available, restore the database from the backup.

DBCC CHECKDB

If no clean backup is available, execute DBCC CHECKDB without a repair clause to determine the extent of the corruption. DBCC CHECKDB will recommend a repair clause to use. Then, execute DBCC CHECKDB with the appropriate repair clause to repair the corruption.

CAUTION: If you are unsure what effect DBCC CHECKDB with a repair clause has on your data, contact your primary support provider before executing this statement.

CAUTION: Repair cannot be performed in TEMPDB, because TEMPDB cannot be put in single-user mode.
