1112 Part XI: Upgrading and Migrating to SharePoint Products and Technologies
■ Under Component Configuration, click Manage quotas and locks
and ensure that the quota limit is large enough to ensure you can migrate
the content.
■ Under Security Configuration, click Manage blocked file types and
delete the file types that you want to allow.
■ Under the Virtual Server Management, click Virtual server general
settings to set maximum upload file size and set the maximum number
of alerts to be unlimited. By default, the maximum upload limit is set to
50 MB, which might not be enough to restore your site’s content. However,
uploading files larger than 50 MB might cause problems, depending
on your available system resources. If you greatly increase the maximum
file size and then attempt to upload a very large file, the upload might fail
or the server might stop responding. The file size at which Windows
SharePoint Services might stop responding depends on the hardware you
are using and on usage patterns. For example, an installation that
includes a front-end Web server with 512 MB of RAM and a back-end
server with 1 GB of RAM might be able to handle files up to about 128 MB.
In general, it is the amount of available memory that determines how
large of a file can be uploaded—for a temporary solution, such as when
you are running the SharePoint Migration Tool, you can set the maximum
upload size to handle files about one-quarter of the size of the physical
memory for your server.
8. Make sure the computer you use to run the SharePoint Migration Tool has sufficient
disk space to temporarily store approximately 20 percent of the data and
files from the original website. While the tool is restoring, this data is periodically
saved in files in a directory in the Temporary Internet Files folder on the
computer on which you are running the SharePoint Migration Tool. You can
change the location of the Temporary Internet Files folder by clicking the
Settings button on the General tab of Internet Options, which can be
accessed through the Control Panel or through Internet Explorer.
9. Create a destination site collection, top-level website, or site, for example; go to
the portal home page (if you have one) and click Sites; and then click Create
Site under the Actions section. If you wish to create a stand-alone top-level Windows
SharePoint Service site, click Start, point to All Programs, then Administration
Tools, and click SharePoint Central Administration. Under the
Virtual Server Configuration section, click Create a top-level Web site.
10. Give the new site a name and a URL, and define the properties, and then
click Create.
11. When prompted for a template for the new site, close the Web browser
window without selecting a template. You must create a blank site without
