RBS on a second database?

Question

Hey all,

I'm new to all this, and managed to successfully set up blob storage on one of my content databases, but when I tried to do it on another one, upon installation of RBS the log file said everything was configured successfully but the database was not populated with the mssql tables.  Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Answer 4

$cdb = Get-SPContentDatabase "WSS_Content_Marketing"

Answer 5

Running this on the web server, checked like a million times that the DB exists and is spelled correctly, and everything else worked for it..

Answer 6

Can SharePoint see that database if you go to Central Admin -> Manage Content Databases?

Answer 7

As a matter of fact, it does not...guess this means it hasn't been assigned to a web app/site collection?

Answer 8

Is there a good way to check what content database a specific site collection is attached to?

Answer 9

Correct, it means that you need to attach it to a Web Application.  Run:

Mount-SPContentDatabase "WSS_Content_Marketing" -WebApplication http://mymarketingwebapp
