Large File Considerations for Externalizing

There are a number of things to consider when planning the StoragePoint implementation to handle large files. Here are a few:

1.We recommend using a 64bit operating system to host the SharePoint web front-ends. While we have seen problems with files over 200mb on 32bit Windows operating systems, we have not encountered any issues on 64bit Windows operating systems.

2.Review Microsoft knowledgebase article number 925083 for information on setting up SharePoint and IIS to handle large file operations (upload, check-in, etc.).

3.Use multi-file upload vs. single-file upload.

BLOB Externalization

This job externalizes content BLOBs from existing SharePoint content databases to the location specified in the associated storage profile. It can be scheduled to run on a certain day and time or it can be run immediately by clicking Externalize Now.

BLOB Recall

This job returns externalized content BLOBs to their associated SharePoint content database. It can be scheduled to run on a certain day and time or it can be run  immediately by clicking Recall Now.

NOTE: Content does not need to be recalled before deleting a profile. Deleting the profile will automatically schedule a Recall job for the profile.

caution

CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that an Unused BLOB Cleanup Timer Job be run so that there is no confusion as to why there may be some BLOBs remaining after the Recall Job is performed.

BLOB Recall does not process Large File content. Please see Large File Support for more information.
