SQL Best Practices for SharePoint http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh292622.aspx • Use a dedicated server for SQL Server 2008 (Configure specific SQL Server 2008 settings) • Pre-grow all databases and logs if you can. Be sure to monitor the sizes so that you do not run out of disk space. • Limit content databases to 200 GB. • Defragment and rebuild indices daily, if you can absorb the downtime required to rebuild. • Be sure that you back up and truncate the log files • Test Restore • Continuously monitor SQL Server storage and performanceWINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER

Challenges • User Profile Service http://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/library/ee721049.aspx • Configuring Search-a Security ScheduleWINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER

Backup • SLA? • Must have: Content databases • Other databases? • PowerShell backup, CA backup, SQL backup, 3rd party • Test it!!!WINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER

Regular checks • Event Log • ULS Log (ULS Log Viewer) • Usage, Health logs • Performance Counters • Disk (if no other monitoring tools) • SearchWINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER

Warmup • Can be configured as Search job • Web Site search (npr. http://intranet/default.aspx) 7:00 2:00 Working Recycle day starts 6:00 SearchWINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER warmup

Capacity Limits • Laws of physics • SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits http://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/library/cc262787.aspx • QuotesWINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER

Capacity Limits - example Limit Maximum value Limit type Notes Application 10 per Web Supported The maximum number is determined by hardware pools server capabilities. This limit is dependent largely upon: The amount of RAM allocated to the Web servers The workload that the farm is serving, that is, the user base and the usage characteristics (a single highly active application pools can reach 10 GB or more) Content database 200 GB per Supported We strongly recommended limiting the size of content size (general content database databases to 200 GB, except when the circumstances in usage scenarios) the following rows in this table apply. If you are using Remote BLOB Storage (RBS), the total volume of remote BLOB storage and metadata in the content database must not exceed this limit.WINDAYS12 TECHNOLOGY OBRAZOVNI PARTNER
