Server Hardware Requirements
Metalogix StoragePoint does not have any hardware requirements beyond what is prescribed by Microsoft SharePoint. For reference, those can be reviewed here:
Subscription Edition - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/install/system-requirements-for-sharepoint-subscription-edition
2019 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/install/hardware-and-software-requirements-2019
2016 - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(v=office.16).aspx
2013 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/install/hardware-software-requirements-2013
Security Requirements
The User Account used to perform the install must be a SharePoint Farm Administrator.
Also review FileShare and Content Database Rights in the StoragePoint Reference Guide>Managing Storage Profiles, when a profile is created.
Screen Resolution Requirements
Metalogix StoragePoint requires a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 for optimizing the user interface on the StoragePoint pages that are linked from the main menu on Application Administration in Central Administration.
Internet Browser Requirements
Microsoft Edge is the recommended browser for use with StoragePoint interface. Other browsers may work, but are not verified as supported for all functions.
.NET Framework Requirements
StoragePoint for SharePoint 2013, 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition requires .NET Framework 4.8.
Temporary Storage Requirements
The amount of temporary storage needed to support the timer jobs depends on the number of threads being used for the timer job. It is recommended that 10GB per thread, for each timer job running concurrently, be available on the server running the timer job. Most timer jobs can use a Controller/Worker configuration to spread this over multiple servers. The temporary storage location can be configured on General Settings or during installation to use something other than the default (AppData/Local/Temp).
SharePoint 2019/SharePoint SE Modern UI considerations
SharePoint 2019 and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition (SharePoint SE) have an updated look and feel for the user interface. StoragePoint links will work on this new user interface, but some additional configuration is necessary.
A Site Collection Feature will be deployed to SharePoint 2019 farms as of the 5.9.1 release, and for SharePoint SE as of the 6.2 release. This feature should be enabled on the site collection for full StoragePoint user interface functionality.
Before activating the Site Collection Feature, an App Catalog must be configured for the web application, as well as an App Management service application.
Please reference the following articles for provisioning these resources.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/manage-the-app-catalog
There are some PowerShell script examples in the PowerShell and API Guide for provisioning these resources.
When these steps are done, open the Site Collection Features (Gear Icon>Site Info>View All Site Settings), scroll to StoragePoint Custom Actions and SPFx Extension and click Activate.
Metalogix StoragePoint database is used to track RBS provider activities in a SharePoint farm. This means that Metalogix StoragePoint database will grow at a rate proportional to the number of documents added to the content databases. The Unused BLOB Cleanup timer job (found on the Profile Timer job page) is critical for keeping StoragePoint database size to a minimum.
Sizing the Metalogix StoragePoint database can be based on the following estimations:
·Synchronous profiles: average increase on the StoragePoint database size is approximately 16 MB per 1 GB in the RBS store.
·Asynchronous profiles: average increase on the StoragePoint database size is approximately 26 MB per 1 GB in the RBS store.
NOTE: The estimation was tested and carried out under the following conditions: ·StoragePoint database on SQL 2019 instance (cumulative update 20), operating in compatibility mode with SQL Server 2019 (150) ·Autogrow/MaxSize: 64 MB/Unlimited ·FileSystem adapter: no encryption and no compression used ·Used files: .txt, .zip, .pdf, Office (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) |
Additionally, Microsoft has restrictions on content database sizing that must be followed.
