Tip #82: SharePoint 2010 Search IOPS

PDF

On any server that hosts SQL Server, it is very important that the server achieve the fastest response possible from the I/O subsystem. More and faster disks or arrays provide sufficient I/O operations per second (IOPS) while maintaining low latency and queuing on all disks.

Before you deploy a new farm, it's recommended that you benchmark the I/O subsystem by using the SQLIO disk subsystem benchmark tool. For details, see SQLIO Disk Subsystem Benchmark Tool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=105586).

 

SharePoint 2010 requires the following IOPS:

  • Crawl database, search requires from 3,500 to 7,000 I/O per second
  • Property database, search requires 2,000 IOPS.

Tip #76: SharePoint Foundation 2010 limitation on Domain Controller

PDF

Using the Windows Server with the Domain Controller role was always not a good idea, due to the performance issue having the hard drive cache turned off.

SharePoint 2010 brings you additional limitations for the DC role, when you cannot install the single server with built-in database version of SharePoint Foundation on a domain controller.

Tip #69: STSADM Backup limitations

PDF

The Stsadm command-line tool of SharePoint 2007 has the following limitations:
  1. As part of a farm backup, backs up, but cannot be used to restore the configuration database or Central Administration content database. For more information, see Recovering the configuration database and Central Administration content database.
  2. Site collection backups affect performance, and they can cause access errors. They should only be used when the site collection is locked. Site collection backups can be slow when working with collections larger than 15 GB. We recommend that you use database backups if you are working with site collections larger than 15 GB.
Note:  
If you want to individually back up a site collection that is larger than 15 GB, we recommend that you move it to its own database, and then use a database backup.

Tip #72: How to restore SharePoint site deleted from IIS

PDF

Sometimes you might be in the situation when you accidentally deleted your SharePoint site from IIS. It's not a disaster, because nothing happened to your site, except you lost the access.

The first thing you can logically try is to create new Web Site in IIS, but this won't help. The solution is restoring site via Central Administration

Navigate to Central Administration ->Application Management and extend the site your deleted from IIS. When SharePoint extends the site it verifies if existing site is in IIS, and if not - creates it. After the site will be extended you will have you original site back in IIS

Tip #65: How to install SharePoint 2010 using local account

PDF

SharePoint 2010 doesn't allow you to install the "Complete" mode on non-domain local user accounts by default, because it's considered as "Development" environment and you should install in "Single Server" mode.

However, there are several workarounds how to install the complete farm without using the Domain Controller.

  1. Changing registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\ServerRole == SINGLESERVER
  2. Using PowerShell command "New-SPConfigurationDatabase"

Alternatively, you can use Single Server install modifying installation config.xml, including the follow entry  <SettingId="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/>
