Keynotes for Distributed Cache on SharePoint 2013

05/02/2014 Leave a comment

My colleague Hector has created a very good article by compiling different issues with Distributed Cache.
You can read the orginal article below link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/calvarro/archive/2013/08/29/points-to-consider-with-distributed-cache-on-sharepoint-2013.aspx

Here is the key notes:

  • NEVER admin the distributed cache from the admin console
  • Maximum capacity of memory is 16 GB per host cache
  • Dynamic memory is not supported in SharePoint 2013 environments nor APP fabric servers
  • The prodcuct after being installed allocates 10% of the physical RAM memory available at the sever. It can be configured following the next point.
  • It’s recommended to allocate 2 GB for other services.
  • It’s not supported to develop code against the Distributed Cache of SharePoint 2013.
    “If you are using custom applications in SharePoint Server 2013 which use the AppFabric client APIs, or are creating custom caches, you should create a separate AppFabric cache cluster to support your custom applications. Do not use the AppFabric cache cluster supporting your SharePoint Server 2013 farm. Run your separate AppFabric cache cluster for your custom applications on separate servers from the servers dedicated to your SharePoint Server 2013 farm.”
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/calvarro/archive/2013/06/05/supportability-of-custom-developments-in-sps-2013-and-appfabric-cache.aspx
  • Install the latest APP Fabric CU if possible. Right now we are in CU 4

SharePoint 2013 Rollup Update for the December 2013 Cumulative Update Packaging

03/02/2014 Leave a comment

The following change was made to the December 2013 Cumulative Update from the previous SharePoint Server 2013 rollup updates. Previously, SharePoint 2013 Cumulative Updates included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download. Due to the file size, the SharePoint Server 2013 package has been divided into two separate downloads in December 2013. One package contains the executable file (identified as ubersrv2013kb2850024fullfilex64glb), while the other contains the .CAB file (identified as ubersrv_1). Both are necessary and must be extracted to the same folder to successfully install the update. Both are available via the same Hotfix Download Available link in the KB article for the December 2013 SharePoint Server Cumulative Update release.
