• Microsoft ConfigMgr MVP• Works for WELL known financial corporation• Runs MNSCUG (not in a user group? Talk to me!)• Runs 350K clients on CM07; CM12 in the lab only• Has run CM since SMS 2.0 days• Hasn’t skydived all year so he’s grumpy• But his primary sites are happy!
About Brian Mason
• Primary site considerations• Easing the load on primary sites• What MP replicas are• Demo: Let’s make a replica!
Session Agenda
• Primary site considerations– CAS vs Primary– Uptime and BCP considerations
Redundancy Considerations
• Offload all IIS related roles first• Offloading the MP role doesn’t offload all
client requests as a hit; the MP still has to ask SQL on the primary for information like what package is on what DP.
Offloading roles
Why bother with MP replication?• Even with CM12, the new replication
model doesn’t involve MP traffic• Old CM07 benefits the same way• Don’t offload SQL replica to a single DB
The MP Replica
MP Replicas - better
MP Replicas - best
SQL Considerations
• MP needs SQL installed• SQL STD is free on CM boxes
– So are the other SC products, BTW!• SQL install tips:
– Always use a configuration file– Always slipstream SPs and CUs– Always cap memory on SQL– SQL12 offers an overall 10% boost
