Best Practices for operational excellence in SharePoint 2010 - Part 1
- Network adapters
- Gigabit network adapters for all server roles
- Dual network adapters in production environment for WFE and App servers. One for users and other for SQL Server communication.
- Private network adapters for inter-server communications, for tasks like backups so that this traffic does not affect the overall farm performance.
- Consider VLANs to reduce network traffic under heavy load conditions
- Keep minimum network distance between WFE, App and DB servers
- Maintain Latency under one millisecond
- Web servers and app servers
- Separate system components into logical derives and user RAID for redundancy.
- Allocate 200 GB of disk space for operating system and temporary files
- Allocate 150 GB of disk space for logs.
- Consider number of users, requests and feature required to identify the WFE servers required.
- Consider HA and DR appropriately.
- Database Servers
- The following databases should be kept separate from other databases:
- TempDB
- Size: Medium
- Must be on a separate spindle from all other databases
- Secure Store
- Size: Small
- Host on a separate database instance and limit the access to one administrator
- Search Crawl
- Size: Extra Large
- Optimize for read
- Host on a separate server from the Search Property database
- Search Property
- Size: Large
- Optimize for write
- Host on its own server
- Usage
- Size: Extra Large
- Optimize for write
- Must be on separate spindle.
- This DB does not need high performance and will not effect farm performance.
- The following databases should be stored in the same location as other databases.
- Configuration DB
- Size: Small
- ReportServerTempDB
- Size: Small
- DB server health
- Pre-grow all databases and logs
- Limit content DB to 200 GB
- Don't store more than 50 databases on a single physical instance of SQL server when use SQL server mirroring.
- Defragment and rebuild indices if possible
- Performance Counters
- Network Wait Queue: 0 or 1
- Average Disk Queue Length(Latency): <5 ms
- Memory used: <70%
- Free disk space:>25%
- Buffer cache hit ratio: >=90%
