Hi all,

I am in need of your help. One month ago I have upgraded my 2 node SQL
2005 x64 ENT cluster from SP2 CU1 to SP3 CU5. After this change I have
noticed that my SQL server jobs that take more than 60 minutes keep
failing on me (not even internal jobs such as update statistics, work).
Moreover, the cluster seems to run much heavier than on SP2 in terms of
CPU usage (in the past average CPU usage was around 20-30% on SP2, and
now it runs on average around 50-60% on SP3), though no configuration
changes have been made to it, besides the SP3 with CU5.

Every now and then I am seeing SQL server service restarts, as well.
This was not the case on SP2 CU1.

As I wrote earlier, my SQL cluster is configured as follows:
2x Windows 2003 Enterprise x64
SQL server 2005 Enterprise x64

Any advice on what could be causing this is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
AP
