SharePoint 2019 migration is not that simple from a legacy version. At first, you would have to upgrade to a higher version eventually to 2019 like 2010 to 2013 to 2016 to 2019. However, things get simpler by using a third-party tool like MachPanel Automation tool for SharePoint migration. With MachPanel, the migrations become seamless and hassle free. This is the best migration path form SP 2010/2013/2016 to SharePoint 2019. The experts are at your side to perform the migration steps and provide post-migration support in case you need any guidance after the migration has occurred. For a successful SharePoint 2019 migration you must consider the following:

Plan: it is important to review the source platform (SharePoint 2013/2016) and destination platform (SharePoint 2019). The relevant configurations must be available in the destination platform.

Analysis of unnecessary items: before beginning the SharePoint 2019 migrations, it is a good practice to track down all the unnecessary contents that ate not needed in future. Frequent cleanup is a good practice, anyway

Run Pre-migration tests: it is best of you could run a mock migration, get the results of pre-migration test reviewed and repeat if not satisfied with results.

Create different batches of content for migration: it is beneficial if you classify major Site Collections into batches. Apart from this, you could also classify Sites and Lists, Metadata, Permissions, Content Types etc. for improved migration experience. This certainly avoids many failure points.

Steps

With that said, let’s move on to the major steps and best practices of migrating to SharePoint 2019 on-premise. If you are moving form SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 environment, you need to know the following steps that highlight the steps involved in a general SharePoint 2019 migration.

SharePoint 2010 provides rich integration with SQL Server enabling SharePoint administrators to leverage the high availability solutions provided by Microsoft SQL Server. Changes include support for the Fail-over_Partner keyword, which enables SharePoint 2010 to natively interpret/translate and respond to state changes in a database mirroring topology. Following is brief of how to accomplish SQL Mirroring.

SQL Mirroring – The Native Way

Since SharePoint 2010 has built-in support for SQL mirroring so farm administrator can configure the SQL environment to mirror a SharePoint content database. When a new database is created, the SharePoint administrator will be prompted to enter the fail-over server. SharePoint then communicates with the witness server, and if issues are discovered, SharePoint will fail-over to the hot backup of the environment. Following image shows the configuration:

Answer: Create host-named site collections using PowerShell

The management shell in SharePoint 2010 provides a comprehensive set of Windows PowerShell cmdlets that make development, implementation, and management of SharePoint 2010 easier and more effective. The SharePoint management shell replaces the Stsadm.exe management tool. All current and upcoming development of command-line resources and management information in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 should use this new scripting technology.

However, in order to create named site collection we can make use of the same SharePoint management shell. Following is the way to go:

Create host-named site collections using PowerShell:

Open up the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell and enter the following commands to create a new site collection for each of your desired vanity (Self-love) URLs. In this case I have created a site collection with the host name portal.machsol.com

New-SPSite http://portal.machsol.com -OwnerAlias DOMAIN\username -HostHeaderWebApplication http://web-app-url.com
