You have a SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) server farm.
You plan to create document repository sites for the sales department and the marketing department.
You identify the following requirements:
Files that are larger than 5 MB and are uploaded by users in the sales department must be stored in Remote BLOB Storage (RBS). All others files uploaded by the sales users must be stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database.
All files uploaded by users in the marketing department must be stored in a SQL Server database.
You need to recommend the minimum number of web applications, site collections, and content databases that must be created to meet the requirements.
What should you recommend?
A.
Two web applications and two site collections in two content databases
B.
One web application and two site collections in one content database
C.
One web application and one site collection in one content database
D.
One web application and two site collections in two content databases
D is correct, because size for remote blobs has to be configured per content database.
Following a snippet from blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/priyo/archive/2010/04/27/configure-remote-blob-storage-rbs-with-filestream-for-sharepoint-foundation-2010.aspx
To change the file size Limit (say only files with 1 MB or more will go to the BLOB) enter the following power shell command:
$cbd = Get-SPContentDatabase “WSS_Content”
$cbd.RemoteBlobStorageSettings.MinimumBlobStorageSize=1048576
$cdb.Update()
