Business Portal Upgrade

Posted on by 60

I hope I haven't posted this question in the wrong forum.  If I have then I apologize.

We have an existing SharePoint Services 3.0 server which is used as our Intranet.  We have a need to setup a Business Portal server.  Is there an upgrade path that won't destroy our existing Intranet sites and content?
 
Thanks,
Terry

    Definitely you can maintain both the sites on the same server. Usually, we don't keep GP DB Server and Business Portal on the the same server. There are no specifics with respect to other combinations. All we need to make sure that, both Intranet & Business Portal servers do not degrade each other's performance.

    Yes, that does help.

    I'm wondering if Business portal needs to be a server of its own (an additional physical server) or if the existing server which is our Intranet server can be upgraded and host both our Intranet sites and content and also host Business Portal.

    Thanks,
    Terry

    Hi Terry,

    Firstly, you are on the right forum.

    To my best understanding, Business Portal does not need to be installed on the existing website (Sharepoint Site, in your case). All it require is a Sharepoint Service and it is present on the server. Create a separate Application Pool and Website for BP (which is a part of the BP Installation procedure).

    In fact, it is recommended that you create a separate Application Pool and Website, in order to avoid mutual dependency of BP and existing site(s). If one fails and is down due to some reason, the other will still be up and running.

    I hope this makes sense.
