This model describes the required steps to
upgrade from SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 to SharePoint
Foundation 2013 or SharePoint Server 2013. The database-attach method is the
only supported method for upgrading from SharePoint 2010 Products to SharePoint
2013 Products. Information about the Business Data Connectivity service
application applies to both SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Foundation
2013. Information about all other service applications and about My Sites
applies only to SharePoint Server 2013.
1.
Prepare
·
Gather information and
clean up 2010 farm
Gather
information from the 2010 farm to help determine the 2013 farm topology. Gather
settings and customizations, plus a performance baseline and information about
the environment. Clean up your farm to elimination potential upgrade errors.
Try out upgrade in a test farm. See the model poster SharePoint 2013 Products –
Testing Upgrade for information about how to perform the test upgrade.
·
Prepare
2013 farm
For a
database-attach upgrade, you upgrade the data and sites on a separate farm from
your original farm. In this step, you set up and configure this new farm. The
new farm is used to upgrade the data and sites, and becomes the farm that users
will connect to going forward.
Important Review the system requirements and administrative accounts needed
for SharePoint 2013 Products.
2.
Upgrade
databases
After you have prepared the new environment, you can copy and
upgrade databases.
·
Copy
databases
To perform a database-attach upgrade, you copy your databases from
your original farm to your new farm.
·
Upgrade
service application databases
Use
Windows PowerShell cmdlets to create new service applications and upgrade the
service application databases. You must also create proxies for the upgraded
service applications and add the new service application proxies to the default
proxy group.
·
Create
web applications and apply customizations
Use Windows PowerShell cmdlets to create new service applications
and upgrade the service application databases. You must also create proxies for
the upgraded service applications and add the new service application proxies
to the default proxy group.
·
Create
web applications and apply customizations
Create and configure web applications Create
a web application for each web application in your 2010 farm. Do not create
site collections. Those will be created automatically when you upgrade the content
databases.
Reapply customizations Install
necessary customizations for your environment: solution packages, custom site
definitions, style sheets, Web Parts, Web services, features, solutions,
assemblies, Web.config changes, form templates, and so on.
Verify Use
the Test-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
in Windows PowerShell to verify that the new environment has all of the
components you need before you upgrade any databases.
·
Upgrade
content databases
Now that the databases are available in the new farm, you can
attach and upgrade them. Although this upgrades the data, it does not upgrade
the user interface for the sites contained in the databases. Use the Mount-SPContentDatabase
cmdlet in Windows PowerShell to upgrade the databases.
3.
Upgrade
sites
Now
that the databases have been upgraded, site collection administrators can
upgrade their sites. The following steps are performed from the Site Settings
page in the site collection.
·
Run
site collection health checks
Before
upgrading, site collection administrators can use the site collection health
checker to identify and address potential issues in their site collections.
Health checks are also run automatically before upgrade.
·
Create
an upgrade evaluation site collection
Site
collection administrators can also request an upgrade evaluation site
collection – a separate copy of the site collection upgraded to the new user
interface. This site is used to preview the new user interface so that the
administrator can address issues before upgrading the site collection.
·
Upgrade
a site collection
After
verifying that the site is ready, site collection administrators can upgrade their
site collection to the new user interface.
