SharePoint Site Moves, Database Moves and Balancing Growth




Adoption of SharePoint is the right of all times now with the release of MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0, this is brilliant for its investment, but can be a nightmare for a poorly planned deployment that was not prepared for a giant growth. Of course, the operational tasks can be on the horizon to a better balance of content databases in relation to size, the size of the database and potentially even your SQL storage plan in general.
Move the Web are an important part of keeping your SharePoint environment. Situations may arise where a site has exceeded elsewhere for a substantial amount. To help support this larger site in a smart way we have to migrate to its own database collections away from other sites (Split). Also, if you know a site has the potential to grow substantially this would be a good idea as a proactive approach. We refer to this action as the division of a site. Other situations may also justify the division sites of a database as the site maximum cap is set high initially and now has also collections of sites are in each database or for legal or business is necessary to separate certain sites elsewhere, even in a database level.
Databases balance would be further action that may need to entertain to get more control over their growth. This can be as simple as separating a SQL database and move it to another LUN in your instance of SQL or the migration of the SQL database to a completely different server, or as complex as load balancing between the creation of site LUNS / SQL servers.
