Good day ya’ll…
Wonder if I could get some input here…
I have been following the upgrade guide by Wrox called “Professional SharePoint 2013 Administration” to perform an upgrade of our internal SharePoint server (2010). It is using SQL Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2010.
I have additional clients that I will be upgrading next.
My problem is that RBS is enabled and the book doesn’t seem to cover this step. It simply recommends that I do a SQL Server backup and then a restore and attach the restored database to my web application (NTLM security mode) and then upgrade to claims mode.
How would I handle this with RBS enabled? Should I setup RBS on the new environment first (SQL Server 2012 R2 and SharePoint 2013) and then do a ???
Puzzled.
Also had a horrible time trying to get RBS running on the new environment previously and ended up doing a reset. The content db is about 6 gb with about 20 gb in files in the current RBS storage location.
Hi Richard,
What i know from my knowledge is you cannot move/upgrade database with rbs file still associated with the Database
The steps you need to follow are:
- Stop Content Db to use RBS and Move in all the Files inside the DB from Blob Folder.
- Verity that files are inside Sql DB by running query.
- Test by uploading file to Site and verify it stores in sql DB.
- backup and restore the DB to your new SharePoint 2013 environment.
- If its a classic mode web app in 2010 then convert it into Sp 2013 Claims based web app.
- Test it.
- Configure the RBS on SharePoint 2013 Farm after upgrade. link to the planning for RBS : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748638.aspx

One more thing you have only just 26 GB DB. You don’t need the RBS if its not required.In SharePoint 2013 they are now using Shredded storage.
here is really good blog to follow about RBS and Sharepoint 2010 :
