We've had several instances in the past several days of
disk I/O spiking to about 35% on about a 5 second cycle on
SQL Server 2000. The only thing out of the ordinary is
that an extended stored procedure, 'xp_qv' seems to be
called. The only web search references seem to send me to
German hacker sites, which is a little disconcerting.

Anyone know about 'xp_qv'?

Thanks in advance --Jim

xp_qv, hosted in xpsqlbot.dll is a wrapper around functionality in
sqlboot.dll, which returns information about the SKU type, licensing etc
It is not documented that is why you can not find a reference.

I should be getting called very infrequently and as far as I know it only
visits the Registry
