Topic 2, World Wide Importers
Background
General Background
Wide World Importers plans to upgrade from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 to take advantage of
additional business intelligence (BI) services, including PerformancePoint Services, PowerPivot for Excel,
and SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 (SSRS). All users are members of an Active Directory Domain
Services (AD DS) domain.
Technical Background
The current environment integrates with a stand-alone instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Analysis Services (SSAS). Wide World Importers has acquired SQL Server 2012 licenses for the purpose of
upgrading all the SQL Server instances to SQL Server 2012.
Business Requirements
The SharePoint 2013 environment and supporting back-end servers that run SQL Server must be highly
available and redundant in the case of unplanned downtime or a disaster.
Technical Environment
SharePoint 2013 Production Farm Topology
The SharePoint 2013 production farm topology consists of the servers listed in the following table.
The Wide World Importers SharePoint 2013 environment has the following characteristics:
A hardware load-balancer is configured to balance traffic between
PROD-WEB-01 and PROD-WEB-02.
SSRS is installed on PROD-APP-01 in SharePoint integrated mode.
SSRS report databases are stored on PROD-DB-01.
A site collection named Report Center has been created at http://
reports.wideworldimporters.com.
All SharePoint content and configuration databases are stored on PRODDB-01.
All site collections have been migrated to a single content database
named WSS_Content.
A content database named WSS_TempContent has been restored to
PROD-DB-01, but not attached to the SharePoint 2013 farm.
An AD DS domain user account named PPS_SVC has been created.
SharePoint 2013 Disaster Recovery Site
The SharePoint 2013 Disaster Recovery farm topology consists of the servers listed in the following
table.
Technical Requirements
Log shipping must be used to send transaction log backups to the
instance of SQL Server that is running in the disaster recovery site.
Discrete sets of SharePoint content databases must be configured to
automatically failover together.
An additional SQL Server 2012 Report Server must be added to the
SharePoint 2013 environment. The server must be configured to use SharePoint
integrated mode.
Additional SQL Server 2012 Report Servers must not be installed on
machines that are running SharePoint as a front-end web server.
Site Collection administrators must not have the ability to upgrade site
collections.
Site Collection upgrade jobs must be throttled to a maximum of five site
collections at a time.
A daily backup schedule must be created to perform SQL Server backups
of all SharePoint content and configuration databases. The PPS_SVC AD DS user account must be used for the
PerformancePoint service application.
Farm administrators must be able to recover content from
WSS_TempContent without attaching the database to the farm.
All content databases within the production farm must be set to readonly when patching and upgrading the farm.
Farm administrators must be able to determine which sites were missed
or skipped during the upgrade process and must be able to monitor any future
upgrades.
