 Install MOSS 2007 SP2 and the October 2009 CU which has updates to the pre-upgrade tool.  Do some house cleaning. Remove old content databases, web applications, and IIS sites.  Resolve any errors in the Server logs or SharePoint logs.  Upgrade SharePoint Servers and SQL Server to 64 bit architecture. 9

 Run the pre-upgrade tool to discover any potential issues.  Resolve any issues discovered by the pre- upgrade tool.  Restore production servers and database backups to Test servers for a test upgrade.  Document any issues in the Test environment for resolution in the production environment. 10

 Ensure that the current production environment or new production environment has enough resources available for the upgrade (RAM, processor, disk space, bandwidth, etc.)  Perform one last backup of the production servers and databases before running the upgrade in production.  Ensure that the current 2007 environment complies with the 2010 software boundaries. 11

 If using the database attach upgrade approach ensure that all databases are set to read only.  Do not add any servers to the farm during the upgrade process (servers will not be added to the database).  During and after the upgrade check the upgrade logs to resolve any issues. 12

 In order to upgrade from a SharePoint 2007 single server configuration to a SharePoint 2010 farm configuration you must do the following:  Create a new SharePoint 2007 server farm  Move the databases from the SharePoint 2007 stand alone server to the newly created SharePoint 2007 server farm  Upgrade the SharePoint 2007 server farm to a SharePoint 2010 server farm 15

 You CANNOT upgrade from SharePoint Server 2007 to 2010 if you are on 32 bit hardware.  You must first upgrade to 64 bit servers before performing the SharePoint upgrade process. 18

*Best for upgrading complete installation which includes servers. Does not provide continuous access to content while upgrading. Databases upgraded one at a time.  Run all pre-upgrade tasks.  Run SharePoint 2010 setup on the server that hosts the Central Administration site.  Run SharePoint 2010 on remaining front-end web servers and application servers.  Run the SharePoint 2010 configuration wizard on the server that host the Central Administration site. This server, the configuration database, the services, and the content databases are upgraded sequentially 20

 Run the SharePoint 2010 configuration wizard on all remaining servers in the farm.  Confirm that SharePoint 2010 upgrade process ran successfully.  If Visual Upgrade is being used preview the sites in the 2010 look and then complete the changes if the 2010 look is acceptable. 21

* Best for moving to new hardware or new farm where users don’t need access to existing content during the upgrade process. Does not upgrade existing servers. Databases upgraded simultaneously.  Run all pre-upgrade tasks.  Create and configure a new SharePoint 2010 server farm.  Transfer all customizations to the new SharePoint 2010 server farm.  Detach the content databases from the SharePoint 2007 server farm and take the old farm offline (stop all services). 22

 Attach the content databases to the SharePoint 2010 farm and upgrade the content.  Confirm that the SharePoint 2010 upgrade process ran successfully.  Perform any final configurations (this includes load balancer settings and AAM’s). 23

* Best if users need continuous read-only access to existing data during the upgrade process.  Run all pre-upgrade tasks.  Create and configure a new SharePoint 2010 server farm.  Transfer all customizations to the new SharePoint 2010 server farm.  Set all content databases to read-only.  Perform a backup of the content databases. 24

 Restore database backups to new SharePoint 2010 server farm.  Attach content databases to the new SharePoint 2010 server farm and upgrade content.  Ensure the upgrade process ran successfully.  Ensure that all databases are online and not set to read-only.  Perform any final configurations (this includes load balancer settings and AAM’s). 25

* Best if you need to upgrade complete installation including servers while speeding up the in-place upgrade process. Existing content is unavailable during the upgrade process.  Run all pre-upgrade tasks.  Take the original 2007 farm offline (stop all services).  Detach the content databases from the original 2007 farm.  Run an in-place upgrade on the original farm servers, services, and configuration database. 26

 Attach the content databases to the original farm and upgrade the content.  Confirm the upgrade process ran successfully.  If Visual Upgrade is being used preview the sites in the 2010 look and then complete the changes if the 2010 look is acceptable. 27

 Run all pre-upgrade tasks.  Create a small temporary SharePoint 2010 farm.  Take the original 2007 farm offline (stop all services).  Detach the content databases from the original 2007 farm.  Run an in-place upgrade on the original farm to upgrade servers, services, and configuration database. 28

 Attach the content databases to the temporary small SharePoint 2010 farm.  Reattach the content databases to the original farm.  Confirm the upgrade process has ran successfully.  If Visual Upgrade is being used preview the sites in the 2010 look and then complete the changes if the 2010 look is acceptable. 29

On average, 90-95% of a SharePoint content database’s storage overhead is comprised of content BLOBs. Network- Addressable Content- Addressable Cloud

 SharePoint 2007 or 2010 support, leveraging published and supported BLOB remoting methods (EBS and RBS)  Admin experience surfaced in SharePoint Central Admin  More than just a BLOB Offloading solution  Archiving  Tiered Storage / HSM  Extensive on-premise and cloud storage platform support  Intelligent Endpoint Management  A long list of enterprise-class features 32

 Generally faster content upload and retrieval.  Substantially for large (> 100MB) content and bulk operations.  Content can be compressed or de-duplicated, adding to storage cost savings.  Content can be encrypted for greater transmission and storage security.  Implement multi-tiered content storage chargeback models leveraging on-premise and/or Cloud-based platforms.  Substantially increase the speed of upgrade/migration processes from SharePoint 2007 to 2010.

SharePoint EBS SQL RBS Introduced with WSS 3.0 SP1, supported (but deprecated) in SharePoint COM interface. Implemented as a Farm-wide scoped feature…all BLOBs are remoted. No orphaned BLOB garbage collection Capability of SQL 2008 R2, only supported in SharePoint Well documented.NET interface. Implemented as a content database scoped feature. Orphaned BLOB garbage collection present OOB. Stubs or HTML Redirects These are supported BLOB remoting methods. They break OOB features and are not compatible with SharePoint OM use.

 The SharePoint upgrade process moves BLOB’s behind the scenes and does re-associations which takes significant time.  Because the BLOB’s are externalized you significantly reduce the database operations that need to occur with BLOB’s which equals a faster upgrade.  Need a demo of the product?  36
