locks issue

[timscronin]

I am getting a resource issue on a server for obtaining locks. Looking for ideas. This is a sql 2000 server running on Win 2003 with 16 gig of RAM on a new Dell quad box with data on a SAN. That's the good news. The bad news it is a 3rd party app which I have almost no ability to change. The users connect through Citrix with about 400 concurrent at a time. I was looking at setting a higher min lock issue. yesterday it sent me the dreaded alert Fatal error in resources with this issue and buried the server at 100 CPU for about 2 minutes. Any help or insight appreciated. Most of my standard sql data looks OK, Cache at about 99, system queue at about .8.

How many locks do you have specified via sp_configure?

I actually kicked max worker threads up to 300 and the problem seems fixed
