SharePoint 2010 DB moved to new SQL server

Hi All,
  Quick Question.. When we move SP 2010 DB to one SQL server to New One .. What are thing need to followed to make sure Sites are working fine 
V Jean

Hi.  I recently followed that guide (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512723(v=office.14).aspx) and it went pretty well.  Before starting, I recommend
you ensure the new SQL server is prepared by ensuring:
1. It has enough disk space to hold the database(s) and allow for growth
2. Firewall ports are opened to allow connections from the SharePoint server
3. The hardware meets the requirements
4. You have RBS enabled if required
5. You have backups!

  • Moving databases from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014

    Hi
    I need to move all my SP 2013 databases from a SQL Server 2012 to a SQL Server 2014. I have read these articles:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
    http://sharepointpromag.com/sharepoint-administration/simple-guide-moving-sharepoint-content-databases-new-server
    The TechNet article says:
    The new database server must run either the same version of Windows Server and SQL Server as the existing database server or one of the following versions:
    SQL Server 2008
    SQL Server 2012
    SQL Server 2014
    And the article in SharePoint Pro Magazine says:
    Obviously you’ll need your target SQL server (or instance) installed and configured. It should use the same version and patch level of SQL Server as the source SQL server
    So I'm a bit confused. Which article is right?
    Thanks
    Jakob

    it is fully supported and a simple process to move to a new sql server (anything 2008+ works).  just don't go back in versions.  you can go 2008-2012, 2008-2014, 20120-2014, just not 2012-2008, etc.
    just be sure not to detach/attach the databases in sql, do a sql database backup, then a sql database restore on the new server and point sharepoint (hopefully using aliases, as it makes this all much smoother) to point to the new server.
    Also, be sure to put SP1 and the April 2014 CU or newer on the farm BEFORE moving the databases.  2014 is "supported before the April CU, but there are several compatibility issues prior to april CU.  one example is that user profile sync doesn't
    work properly with sql 2014 if sharepoint is not at least april 2014 CU.
    hope that all is clear and helps you out, let me know if there are more questions.

  • Provide tips on taking over a new sql server environment from outgoing engineer .

    Hi Gurus,
    I am going to take over the SharePoint SQL Server environment(2008R2) from the engineer who is moving out to some other assignment.
    Basically I need to collect all the important information which I might need in crunch times in future. I am new to sharepoint sql server  environment also.
    I have got the POC details for tape team, wintel team, backup strategy, report jobs that are running. But still I don't have that confidence to say that I have a complete hold on this environment and I can tackle any issue in future.
    It would be great help if you could provide me some precise blogs which lists out things which needed to be acquired and documented in KT period before actually start working.

    now should i install sp2 and install sharepoint 2010 binaries?
    adil

    SharePoint 2010 has no supportability statement for Server 2012 R2.  I would not use it until Microsoft releases a supportability statement.
    Even it  has no supportability for server 2012, but sharepoint 2010 running fine in my server 2012 test environment
    adil
    You indicated you were using 2012 R2.  SharePoint 2010 supports Server 2012 (non-R2) with SP2 media, but has no supportability statement for Server 2012 R2.

  • Building New SQL Server To Migrate from Old one and need to figure out how I need to license it.

    So my head is spinning on setting up a New SQL Server.
    Current setup is Microsoft Server 2003 Standard and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard. Nothing was maintained with Software assurance.
    Environment:
    Database is Limited to 2008 R2 Standard as Highest release I can use with it. So I know I need to do a Downgrade.
    New Server can Be either Microsoft Server standard 2008 or 2012 x64.
    The Domain Controller for right now is going to remain a Machine with Server 2003 Standard x86. It is Licensed with 30 Cals.
    The office Environment:
    The Office has any where from 5-7 employees.
    They have 3 Office locations and employees are in 1 of the three locations depending on the day.
    Between all 3 Offices they have 27 computers.
    Employees also can access multiple machines through out the day.
    Reception, Checkout and Third employee will be at their own machine.
    3 Employees will be accessing their main machine but also float to at the most 6 other machines located in the office these machines are logged in in the morning using their own user name Employees don't login or logout on them throughout the day.
    If they are in The Main Office they access the SQL server machine directly.
    If they are in one of the two satellite offices the Employees will access the SQL server through the front end running on Terminal Services running on the SQL server.
    My New Server will be Either a 4 or 6 core Xeon Processor.
    So the Questions.
    Lets say the scenario is I am buying Windows 2012 Server and Cals and Buying SQL 2012 Server and Cals and will be downgrading both to 2008.
    How do I need to license Windows Server? How many Cals do I need and what way should they be setup?
    How do I need to license SQL Server? By Server? By Core? How Many Cals do I need?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    In addition, basically a downgrade is possible in case the SQL Server editions are the same. Downgrade is only supported in case a downgrade of e.g. SQL2012 Enterprise to SQL2008R2 Enterprise is done.
    I have attached a link to the SQL Server 2012 Licensing Reference Guide. Look at “Upgrades, Downgrades and Step-Ups” section of the document and check which version and editions are supported for the downgrade.

  • New SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation - No disk is available to select in section "Cluster Disk Slection"

    Hello Everyone,
    I am in a deep need for your help regarding the problem I am facing.
    I am doing a New SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation in a virtual server that is part of a failover cluster. I am able to complete all the steps successfully but, when I reach the point where I am supposed to select the shared disk that will
    be included in the SQL server resource cluster group, I don't find any disk in the list (as u can see in the figure below).
    I have already created the a 2 nodes failover cluster and added 3 disks (1 as a witness in Quorum and 2 other available storage).
    No roles were created, 2 nodes are available and 1 network is there in the cluster.
    If u take a look at the message it say: "The search for mount points failed. Error: the system cannot find the path specified". What is this and how can I solve this issue??
    Thanks in advance for your support and looking forward for your valuable feedbacks.
    Mark as answer if it was an answer for you question.. Please don't hesitate to ask for any further help..

    Dear Ashwin,
    I have granted the privileges mentioned in the link you provided as below:
      Act as Part of the Operating Sywstem = SeTcbPrivileg
      Bypass Traverse Checking = SeChangeNotify
      Lock Pages In Memory = SeLockMemory
      Log on as a Batch Job = SeBatchLogonRight
      Log on as a Service = SeServiceLogonRight
      Replace a Process Level Token = SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
    I was not able to solve the problem by giving these privileges to the domain account I am using to install SQL.

  • How to test a new SQL Server installation

    Hi,
    We are in the process of consolidating several database on a single SQL Server instance.
    We first installed a test server and we want to use this installation as the base for our production server.
    I checked:
    - the server collation is the one required SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI
    - services are running: SQL Server Database engine, Analysis services, Report Services, Integration Services  are running
    I identified the following problems:
    - SQL Server Agent is not running and I can not start it from the services panes of the computer management
    - When I want to connect to SQL Server Integeration Services from SQL Server Management Studio I get a pop up error message:
    failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
    acces is denied
    What else should I check?
    We are a small team and I am new to database administration, every advice is appreciated.

    And make sure to configure all the basic configuration as per the requirment... few of them is below... there might be many but its all upto you and your business requirments...
    Memory
    Backup compression
    Error Log
    Securit, logins, aduiting ( Minimum failed and successful logins )
    Ports ( Static or dynamic -- Named Instance )
    Default location of the data,log(ldf),backup -- If you have missed this at the time of installation.
    authentication mode
    disable or change the SA password ( Enforce password policy )
    Service packs and hot fixes, CU's
    Configure all the required basic maintenance jobs
    SQL Service accounts or MSA in case of standalone hosts Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later ..
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560633%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
    Monitoring if required
    Move all the required configuration details from your existing servers using --- sp_configure
    Move all the logins and jobs..
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992?wa=wsignin1.0
    Change the databases compatibility level after restoring in new server
    rebuild the index and update the stats once after restoring it in new server.
    Most importantaly review the setup log once after the complete installation.. and sql error log, eventlog..

  • Best practice for auditing a SP 2010 BCS scenario with a SQL Server pooled connection.

    I'm using SP 2010 BCS to connect to a SQL Server db. For this, I've used SSS and am passing SQL credentials to take advantage of pooled connections. I'd like to pass the user context (user ID/User name) to the database so that I can do auditing, such as
    created by and last modified by. What is the best approach to make this work while still using a pooled connection?
    I've thought about modifying the external list forms so that I capture and pass down user context info, however, I'd like not to rely on this in case the external content type is consumed by another consumer such as an Office product, etc.

    Hi,
    There is no good way to do it.
    You can set the created by and modified by columns as input parameters for the create and update operations and using ajax to set values for both of columns.

  • Site files moved to new (identical) server; now iWeb gives "Publish Error"

    Our school district just replaced the web server where our teachers publish iWeb sites. All user accounts, passwords, IP addresses, and content moved over just fine, but now when teachers try to publish updates to their existing sites on the new server, iWeb throws a "Publish Error: Unable to communicate with FTP server..." error. Test Connection in the publishing settings works fine, as does logging in to the server using an FTP application, so we know the user accounts are okay.
    An interesting twist: I published my existing site (that was experiencing this issue) to a local folder on my desktop, and used a standalone FTP application to upload and replace my iWeb site files manually; when I went in and set the iWeb publishing settings back to FTP server, it was again able to publish updates to the site without issue.
    We're looking into a permissions problem on the files that were moved from the old server but so far have not been able to find any differences.
    Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on? We have a couple hundred people this is affecting and if it's something we can fix on the back-end instead of having to manually replace all of those site files, that would be a great thing!

    The only time that I had to move a bunch of sites to a new server I was instructed by tech support to download all the sites/files and upload them to the new location.
    I would assume that, if you don't do this, the permissions could get messed up.
    My hosting service uses Webshell4 to manage files on the server. To change permissions you need to select the site folder in Webshell4 and click the "CHMOD" button to get a window that allows you to do this.
    Read permissions should be checked for User, Group and Other.
    Write permissions would normally be set for User only.
    You could try this with one site to see if this is what's required but your hosting service tech support should really help you with this. That's what they are there for.

  • Testing moving to new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server.

    HI all,
    I want to bring up a new DCHP server on an existing Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller.  The current DHCP server is a Windows 2003 Domain Controller.  I have moved all the FSMO Roles to the new 2008 R2 domain controller
    with the plan to eventually demote the 2003 server and take it off the network. I have the dhcp role installed on the new Windows Server 2008 R2 and have duplicated the exact settings (reservations, scope, etc.) from the old windows 2003 server
    on the new 2008 R2 server.  My plan was simply to disable the dhcp service on the old windows server 2003 and then authorize the new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server.  However, after reading several articles, I understand that once you authorize
    a new dhcp server, the old dhcp sever is unauthorized.  I also read where several people had major issues with the new dhcp server not handing out IP Addresses even though the new dhcp server was authorized successfully.  Since this is
    a production network, I would like to employ the correct method to bring up the new dhcp server.  Also, if there is a problem, is there an easy way to go back to the original dhcp server?  Thanks for your help.
    FD
    Bob Andres

    You can authorize multiple DHCP servers on a network.
    You can activate and deactivate different scopes independently. So you can test DHCP functionality with a test scope.
    Also, you can stop the old server in many ways that allow it to be online very rapidly: stop the dhcp server service, deactivate the scopes and yes even de-authorize the server.
    My advice would be to built a test so you are confident (=very important) and not to fear the final onlining too much. DHCP is no rockets science. If you've replicated the configuration and are aware of possible IP Helper configurations on your routers/switches,
    it should all work out fine.

  • New SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver

    Dear All,
    I am grasping for straws here. I have a very strange issue with
    the new Microsoft JDBC driver (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver).
    I have a couple of strange things happenning when I am using this driver,
    but the most critical one is that the application literally hangs
    executing a readObject statement:
    ExpressionBuilder trp= new ExpressionBuilder();
    Expression exp1 = trp.get("ID").equal(ID);
    getDatabaseSession().readObject(Trip.class, exp1);
    I can see that it actually executes the statement, then hangs.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
