Sql 2012 for Sharepoint 2013

What's better, SQL 2012 on a separate virtual machine running other databases too, or SharePoint having SQL all to itself on the same virtual server?
David

That would depend on the load. If SharePoint was in use by just a couple of users, the content was small, and SQL was limited in memory usage while the VM had enough memory, a single install would be fine.
But in general, I would pick the first option of having SQL on a separate VM.

  • Migrating SQL 2008 DB to SQL 2012 for SharePoint Farm

    Our SharePoint 2013 Farm runs on ISCSI Disk on Windows 20008 R2 Standard SP1 Platform with SQL 2008 R2 Standard SP2.
    Now we are planning to move this ISCSI Disk to another SQL 2012 Standard Platform and then upgrade the SQL 2008 Databse to SQL 2012. Can some one please let me know what challenges we might face during this implementation.

    It depends if you want to move all, or just some, of your databases to the new server. If you need to move all of them that link describes the process but in short;
    Backup and restore all databases to the new server
    Configure the server roles and logins for the SharePoint accounts on SQL
    Create (or modify) your SQL alias to point to the new server

  • Report service Integration (sql 2012 and SharePoint 2013) error Report Server WMI Provider error: Invalid namespace

    Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace
    Domain Server, Sql2012 server and SP2013 Server (3 vm servers)
    the sql server reporting services service application and applications Proxy are installed and started (SP2013 Sever)

    under general Application Settings .. trying to setup the "Reporting Service Integration" give us the above error message (Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace)
    I was looking for all blogs and TechNet material but without success.

    Follow these steps:
    1) Uninstall SSRS from the Database Engine server (MSSQLSERVER instance).
    2) Install SSRS on the SharePoint server using the "Reporting Services - SharePoint" install option during SQL Feature selection, no other services are required (e.g. you do not need to install Database Engine services).
    3) You should then see SSRS as a Service Instance in Central Admin -> Manage Services on Server, at which point you can also create an SSRS Service Application.
    While this guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx#bkmk_install_SSRS) walks you through it, this is for a single server install where the Database Engine is also installed on SharePoint, not something you want to do.

  • SQL Installation for SharePoint 2013 - Windows Firewall - Profile - domain, Public and Private - Which ones to choose?

    Hi there,
    I am setting up SQL Server (to be used in our SharePoint 2013 farm).
    The Firewall exception for SQL server gives me three choices in Profile section as 
    Domain, Public and Private profiles 
    Which ones should I choose please? 
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set the firewall exception for SQL server.
    Domain profile—This profile is active when the server is connected to an Active Directory (AD) domain via an internal network. This is the profile that's typically active, because most servers are members of an AD domain.
    Private profile—This profile is active when the server is a member of a workgroup. Microsoft recommends more restrictive firewall settings for this profile than for the domain profile.
    Public profile—This profile is active when the server is connected to an AD domain via a public network. Microsoft recommends the most restrictive settings for this profile.
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • SQL server requirement for sharepoint 2013

    Hello All,
    currently i have installed SharePoint2013 in server farm mode, and i have used SQL Server 2008 R2 for DB. Can i use SQL Server 2012 for SharePoint 2013?
    Thanks

    SharePoint 2013 is compatible with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 so yes.
    What you can do is "move" the SharePoint DBs from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 without restore or backup.
    Link to msdn: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
    Here you have an example for SharePoint 2010 (is the same for SharePoint 2013): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664029/Migrate-SharePoint-s-SQL-Server-to-another-SQL-Ser
    Here an different example: http://surya20p.blogspot.com.es/2013/09/migrate-sql-2008r2-sp2-to-sql-2012-sp1.html

  • SQL 2012 AlwaysON High Availability for SharePoint 2013

    Our Company have 2 Webfront Servers for Sharepoint 2013 and one Database SQL 2012 Server.
    We got one more Server & we don't have Storage so need to configure Always On.
    There are Some Confusions:
    1- Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to Achieve the AlwaysOn?
    2- What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server?
    3- What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
    Regards,

    Hi Genius1985,
    According to your description, you want to configure a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group for your database, right?
    Question 1: Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to achieve the AlwaysOn?
    There is no a certain downtime for AlwaysOn, it depends on the configuration of our AlwaysOn Availability Group, normally it can be several seconds or minutes. In order to understand why there is downtime for SQL Server with Microsoft Clustering, please refer
    to the following article:
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1882/understanding-why-there-is-still-downtime-for-sql-server-with-microsoft-clustering/
    Question 2 and 3: What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server? What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
    Since AlwaysOn Availability Groups require a Windows Server Failover Cluster, we first need to add the Windows Failover Cluster Feature to all the machines running the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas.
    Once the Windows Server Failover Cluster has been created, we need to proceed with enabling the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012.  This needs to be done on all of the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas in our
    Availability Group.
    For more details about Step-By-Step: Creating a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group, please refer to the following article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/08/20/step-by-step-creating-a-sql-server-2012-alwayson-availability-group.aspx

  • Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

    Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

    As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
    One of the following:
    The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
    The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
    Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
    Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
    make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

  • SQL Server Web Edition for SharePoint 2013

    Dear Expert,
    I'm not sure SQL Server Web Edition is ok for SharePoint Server 2013 or not. If I do in On-Premise or Azure.
    Please suggestion.

    There is no specific document that specifies that Web edition is supported.  However, if you look at the requirements list for SharePoint 2013 you will notice that it specifies that it must be either SQL server 2008 r2  with SP1 or SQL 2012.
     It also specifies the 64 bit version.  But it doesn't specify a specific edition.  That and the fact that it will run on SQL Express suggests that it will run on any edition of SQL as long as its 64 bit and a late enough release.

  • Can we use SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?

    Is it possible to use external SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?
    Having this implemented we can generate reports, query data and it would become very very powerful to use.
    Or
    Is there a way to keep on using existing content databases and using external SQL Server as a secondary data storage at the same time. So I want it to be like redundant data in SQL Server.
    Thanks 

    Hi，
    Not sure if I understand your question correctly, SharePoint has its own content database storing SharePoint list data, we can use SSRS/SSAS integated with SharePoint mode to use sharepoint list as datasource to generate reports.
