SQL server I/O has an excellent feature. According to this document:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/iobasics.mspx it will
perform retry operations if the I/O API returns ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES
(1450). I have another application that I would like to imbue with
techniques for recovering from this condition, so I would like to find a way
to force it to occur. I have been toying with SQLIOSim for a couple of days
in an attempt to do that, so far without success.

Do you think I will be able to achieve this with SQLIOSim, or are my efforts
futile? Can anyone suggest another way I might be able to do it?

Thanks.
