SharePoint Multi-Server Farm with LB and SQL Cluster.

Helllo,
We are setting up a Multi Server SharePoint 2013 Farm with a Load-Balancer. 
We are also using SQL Server 2012, Two Node Cluster. 
We have SQL Server Instance Running as a Service. Also I managed to install PowerPivot for SharePoint as a Instance. 
Looking at various article's I have question if this Cluster Setup supported in SharePoint 2013. 
Can the SharePoint Farm use this PowerPivot Instance as a failover service? 
Or do I have to install Analysis services separately on Both SQL Nodes? 
If so how do I configure Excel Services on SharePoint? 
Thank you
Sham

PowerPivot is installed on the SharePoint server and is a scale-out service (you just install it on multiple SharePoint servers and make sure the Service Instance is started in SharePoint). Same with Excel Calc Services (but for this one you don't have
to install anything, just start it).

  • How does Sharepoint 2013 Server farm using BLOB data, Hyper-V with virtual machines storing the BLOB data?

    Hello Community
        A Sharepoint 2013 Server farm created on a physical server
    stores it's documents in SQL Server according to how SQL Server is setup.
        If a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm is using Hyper-V and Virtual machines
    how is BLOB data stored ?  
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Are you looking to use Remote Blob Storage? or RBS of SQL with SP?
    It is going to be same way as it is configured for physical server.

  • Do you need an additional slot for the RBS and does the RBS count as an additional hard drive in the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?

    Hello Community
        If you have a clustered Sharepoint 2013 Server farm running RAID 10, on a
    clustered WS2012 R2 server that has 10 hard drive slots:
            (4) drives being part of the Sharepoint 2013 Server farm
            (1) drive for the Web App Server
            (5) are for hot swap if any of the production hard drives fail
        The question(s) is:
            - If the server only has 10 slots for hard drives are you still allowed to add a
    NAS/RBS drive and does the NAS/RBS drive get clustered also, or does this scenario require
    reducing the RAID level down to RAID 5 to allow for NAS/RBS hard drive?
            - Does the NAS/RBS hard drive need a hard drive for hot swap?
            - Does the NAS/RBS drive have to have Sharepoint 2013 Server or WS2012 R2 running on it?
            - Does the Web App Server have Sharepoint 2013 running or just WS2012 R2 running on it?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    RAID 10 requires a minimum of 4 hard drives. The LUN for RBS must be attached to the SQL Server, not SharePoint server, as a local drive. You just need to be running the minimum required OS for the version of SQL Server you're using.
    Do you mean Office Web Apps by "Web App Server"? If so, that cannot have SharePoint installed on it. Otherwise, if you're just referring to it as another SharePoint server, yes it would have SharePoint installed on it.

  • Backup Sharepoint 2013 SP1 Farm with SQL 2014 RTM "Always On" using System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager

    Is backing up and Restoring SharePoint 2013 SP1 Farm with SQL 2014 RTM  "Always On" High Availability now supported using "System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager"? 
    I cannot find information anywhere.
    Regards,
    Igor

    This is a DPM supportability issue, I believe. Last I heard, no it was not supported. SharePoint 2013 does not support SQL 2014 until the April 2014 CU. The CU should be out soon, although it appears to have been delayed (usually comes out on Patch Tuesday,
    which was this past Tuesday).

  • What needs to be done to rebuild a current Sharepoint 2010 Server farm to work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?

    Hello Community
        Currently I have a Sharepoint 2010 Server farm.
        One server contains the database and DNS server
    because it is the the domain controller.
        The other server Contains the Sharepoint 2010 Server software
    and is the the application server where applications such as Metadata,
    UPs, etc, reside (including web applications with sites built with the UI).
        Now I am going to change to Sharepoint 2013 Server because currently
    there is no newer version of Sharepoint available.
        I am ready to rebuild the current Sharepoint 2010 farm configuration into
    a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm from scratch.
        The question  is what do needs to be added and\or changed to make the current
    Sharepoint 2010 Server farm configuration work as a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    There is no direct in-place uprade method for SharePoint 2010 to 2013. You need to create a new SharePoint 2013 farm from scratch and attach service and content databases to upgrade them. Check out Upgrade
    to SharePoint 2013 for more information about the process.
    If you have another server, you would install SharePoint 2013 on this. If you don't, you'll need to remove SharePoint 2010 from your existing server and then install SharePoint 2013. Check out Hardware
    and software requirements for SharePoint 2013 before starting to make sure your server meets the minimum requirements for SharePoint 2013:
    Web server or application server in a three-tier farm
    Pilot, user acceptance test, or production deployment of SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013.

  • Is Azure needed in on-premise Sharepoint 2013 Server farms?

    Hello Community
        When you have an on-premise Sharepoint 2013 Server farm
    do you need Azure or is Azure only needed when you have a
    Sharepoint 2013 Server farm in a cloud?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    No, you do not need Azure for an on-prem farm, unless you're working with Low Trust SharePoint Apps.

    User profile sync Sharepoint 2010 photos thumbnail with AD and Lync 2010 - error on Full Synchronization- get events 8311, 6110, 6803 FIMSynchronization Service
    We're trying to set up sync between Sharepoint and AD so photos are displayed in Lync.
    The certificate referenced in 8311 is not the sharepoint root cert, its the UCC cert with our FQDN of the site. sharepoint.domain.com
    Is this causing the problem with the sync and holding up the photos?
    I have tried several proposed fixes, it hasn't helped.

    HI,As you said Its dropped off from domain meaning it already disconnected the connection from AD.Thats why UPA is not working.Once the server is added back to Domain,The UPA will not connect to automatically.So iwould suggest to create the UPA connections
    again and crawl the Import.Check the below link on the issue with UPA.

  • Help needed with Express and SQL Dev

    Recently was asked to make a sql server application work with Oracle. I have never worked with Oracle products and no one in my small shop has either. I downloaded the Express 10g onto a virtual machine on my dev server and oracle SQL Developer locally. I have no idea how to connect to the Express db on the prod server using sql developer. I have tried Basic and TNS connection types and all the errors are very cryptic. Any help is appreciated. Do I need to install anything client side to connect to the server?
    I figured it out. I had to use the Basic connection type and I DL'd the J2EE .
    Edited by: jt_stand on Sep 25, 2008 10:51 AM

    Had to use the Basic connection type and get the right combination of options. I can now connect to my remote Express server with my local sql developer program.

  • Problem with DBMS_OUTPUT and SQL statment with a function

    I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04 and I have a function that has a dbms_output statment in it. I am running the following SQL to select the output of that statment.
    select A.A_FUCTION('TEST') from dual;
    The output works fine but the dbms_output line does not show in the dbms_output window. I turned on the output window etc. and i can get the select to print out the output if i wrap it in a declare begin end wrapper... and then change the query to insert the return value into variable.
    just wondering if there is way to get the dbms_output to flush out with just an SQL statment instead of in a begin end wrapper etc.

    just wondering if there is way to get the dbms_output to flush out with just an SQL statment instead of in a begin end wrapper etc.works fine in sql*plus, so I guess it must be a preference or sth. in sql*developer:
