After a patch is deployed to my SP2007 farm, I go through a checklist to make sure the servers in my farm are operating as expected.
SP 2007 environment:
- 2 WFE
- 1 INDEX SERVER
- 1 DB
- 1 LOAD BALANCER
SP 2013 Environment
- 2 WFE
- 2 APP
- 2 DB
- 1 LOAD BALANCER
Below is a checklist I go through after a patch(Microsoft monthly patches) is deployed throughout the SP 2007 farm
SharePoint 2007
WFE & Index
- Check if these services are running: IISAdmin, W3SVC, SPTimerV3, SP
Admin
Index
- Check if this service is running: SPSearch
WFE
Verify that the appropriate application pools are started (ex sharepoint-80, central admin, etc.)
Servers on the NLB are acting as a load balanced server. (Servers' statuses must be converged)
Can I use this same checklist for my 2013 environment? Should I be checking for anything else?
