Best Practices for SharePoint
•
Dell recommends that you reinstall SharePoint on the application server and define the default index location as described in
Specify
Index File Locations When Installing SharePoint
.
•
Create more volumes on the SQL host to separate content databases for restores.
•
Place database and log files on separate volumes so the Smart Copy operations always create pairs of volumes.
•
Create directories and specify the default database location in SQL (Select
Server
→
Properties/Database Settings
). This practice
makes sure the initial SharePoint databases are created on PS Series volumes and minimizes the manual work of moving them off of
the
C:\
drive.
•
Consider using virtual machines on PS Series volumes for Web front-end servers. Smart Copy snapshots of the virtual machines will
allow recovery of IIS if the WFE fails or needs rebuilding.
