70-467 Question #125: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• AMigrate SSRS content to a separate instance of SSRS 2012 on the same server.
• BPerform an in-place upgrade of the SSRS environment.
• CMigrate SSRS content to new servers that run SSRS 2012.
• DInstall SSRS 2012 on a new SharePoint farm and migrate content to the new farm.

Explanation

Migrating SSRS content to new servers running SSRS 2012 allows the existing environment to stay operational during setup, achieving minimal downtime without the hardware overhead of a full new SharePoint farm.

Common mistakes.

• A. Running a new SSRS 2012 instance on the same server as SSRS 2008 introduces resource contention and does not fully isolate the upgrade, increasing the risk of downtime if the existing instance is disrupted.
• B. An in-place upgrade of SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode is high-risk on a production farm with PerformancePoint Services and Excel Services, as compatibility issues can cause extended or unrecoverable downtime.
• D. Deploying a completely new SharePoint farm for SSRS 2012 requires substantially more hardware than migrating only the SSRS component, directly violating the minimum hardware requirement.

Concept tested. SSRS upgrade strategy minimizing downtime and hardware
