SharePoint hot standby farm, SQL availability groups, readable secondary replicas - supported options?
SharePoint hot standby farm, SQL availability groups, readable secondary replicas - supported options?
We are setting up a hot-standby SharePoint environment across two data centres. The concept of this having to be two separate SharePoint farms to avoid a potentially unsupported stretched topology are understood. We are using SQL 2012 with availability groups to replicate the data between data centres.
As it stands, we built the first farm including web applications and service applications. The databases that support asynchronous replicas (e.g. content and some service applications, not farm specific databases) are in an availability group that spans across SQL servers in both data centres. For information only at this point, the remaining farm specific databases are in a separate synchronous availability group for in-data centre failover.
Switching the primary replica for the content and service application databases to a SQL server in the recovery data centre then allowed us to build the second farm. Everything was scripted, so when the databases exist, the web applications and service applications just used those existing databases.
My question, which I’ve found mixed answers for so far, is can we make use of the readable secondary replica in the second data centre with the second SharePoint farm for things like search crawling, whilst the day-to-day running and user traffic is routed to the primary data centre. I’d like to understand what level of “lights on” we can have with the second, recovery farm.
Absolutely no traffic will be routed to the second farm whilst the first, primary farm is active. This is purely to monitor as much as possible that the second farm is in a healthy state, preventing (as much as possible) the event logs from filling up with errors about databases it can’t see, and maintaining a search index that’s as close to the primary farm as possible.
From what I can see, using readable secondary replicas for SharePoint wasn’t supported because of the missing read-only intent. Later articles including this one (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj715261(v=office.15).aspx) seem to suggest that it is an option,
“Readable secondary replicas are supported for runtime usage if you install the SharePoint 2013 April 2014 cumulative update (CU) package or better. For more information about this CU, seeOffice 2013 cumulative update for April 2014”,
but I’m unclear what their definition of “runtime usage” is.
I'm wondering if anyone out there with experience or insight into what we're trying to achieve can help shed any light!
Thanks in advance.

Input requested: Issues in upgrading search for public site to 2013
We have a fully branded 2010 public site that uses search. In our upgrade to 2013:
We'd would prefer not to perform the visual upgrade because we don't want to update our master pages and page layouts.
Search currently uses a 2010 search scope to limit results to the single site collection - there are other portals on the farm.
We can't use the new 2013 result sources that replace search scopes, so I'm looking for a good way to limit search results. I know I could create a separate search service app for the portal, but I'd prefer not to do that.
Does anyone see a way to do this without performing the 2013 visual upgrade OR using custom development OR creating a new search service application that serves just the 2013. I know I'm asking to have my cake and eat it, too, but I want to exhaust all easy options before I try something more complex.
Thanks for your help.

Setting Users for my managed services and application pools
I setup my SharePoint 2013 test environment and I developed an intranet site. Now inside my test environment I set all the application pool & managed services to use Farm user account for simplicity. Now I want to setup my UAT environment and I want to follow the best practice for managing users and service accounts.
I have read the “Core Solutions Of MS SharePoint 2013” book, and it have listed the following table:-
First question. What is the difference when saying that the user “Must be a member of the Farm Administrators group” Or must be “Domain user account”?
Second question , when I first install SharePoint 2013 a lot of applications pools and managed services such as excel services , access services, Performance Point Service Application, business
data connectivity and Machine Translation Service will be automatically created , so which account they will be using and should I define separate accounts for each managed service ?
Third question. What is the recommendation for SharePoint 2013 regarding service accounts?, to use separate account for each manage service, for example one user for excel services , second user
for access services ,etc?
Fourth question. For example the documentation mentioned that the Required roles for the excel services is “Domain user account.”, but what permissions this domain user need to have ?
thanks for any help, and sorry so adding multiple questions inside the same post.

Search not working on WFE's
Within the last few weeks our search has broken. It works on the index server where all search components are running. However on the WFE it doesn't seem to be working.
I get this when running a search from the WFE. Appears to almost be a connection between the WFE and the Index server. I have re-created my search service, cleared my sharepoint cache files, iisreset and rebooted. Still no luck.
Our farm is running sharepoint version 15.0.4505.1005
3 VM's. 1 index, 2 WFE's. Both WFE's are displaying similar results.
Anyone have any suggestions. I will also open a ticket with Microsoft.
Search has encountered a problem that prevents results from being returned. If the issue persists, please contact your administrator.

Updating my SharePoint 2013 enterprise server using windows update. Should I install all updates
I have the following:-
- Windows server 2008 R2.
- SharePoint enterprise server 2013 sp1.
Today I run the windows update and it showed that there are 28 important update with total size of 1.1 GB. When I view the details for the updates I found updates for SharePoint foundation, outlook, word, lync, office 2013 as follow:-
First question. Should I install all the updates or since I am using SharePoint enterprise and I do not to install updates for :-
- SharePoint foundation,
- outlook,
- word,
- lync,
- office 2013
… so should I ignore these updates and only install SharePoint enterprise 2013 related updates and security updates for windows server 2008 r2.?
Second question. Generally speaking will windows update only show the updates required for my server? Or it simply display any new updates regardless if i need them or not. For example inside my live SharePoint serve I do not have outlook or lync installed , so why it showed me an update for outlook and another one for lync?. and if I install these updates what will basically happen? Will the update consume a disk space, or it will not be installed ?
Thanks

Publishing search to a consuming farm - configuring security access to the items being searched in the Publishing Farm
Hi
We are planning to publish our sp2013 Search service app to a SP2010 consuming farm. The question is do we have to add users from the consuming farm to the publishing farm for them to see any search results? Once the Search SA is published is it possible to add users from the consuming farm to sites? If not how will they see any results? Surely security trimming will mean they will see nothing?
Can we add all the users who need to see search results as a group to a Web app policy on the publishing farm? If so then will these users from the consuming farm be able to logon to SP sites in the publishing farm? The aim is for them to consume search only. Will they show up in people picker once the farms trust each other? The farms are in different domains
Thanks

Cannot access SharePoint 2013 publishing site
HI,
I set up a SharePoint 2013 and everything seemed to work fine (setup was basically done using the codeplex autoinstaller script).

- Does this service need to be running if we are not going to be using any BI features such as SSRS or not going to be accessing data from a SQL database from Excel / Visio services etc ?
- If the service needs to run, is it recommended to leave it running as the LocalSystem account or use a domain account ?
