You have to create the Content Database 1st then you will be able to create new site collection. Thanks for contributing an answer to SharePoint Stack Exchange! Please be sure to answer the question.
Attach a content database to a web application and upgrade the database When you attach a content database, you upgrade the database and add the site collections in that database to the web application that you specify. After the databases are upgraded, the site collection upgrade process is automatically started by default.
Do you need site collections to store content?
You do not have to create any site collections to store the content before you attach the database. This process attaches the content databases and the site collections inside that database. Make sure that you do not add new site collections until you have restored all the content databases.
Can a site be added to a content database twice?
Each site collection in a content database has a GUID that is registered in the configuration database and associated with the site collection. Therefore, you cannot add the same site collection two times to the farm, even in separate web applications.
Why is my content database showing no site collections?
I then ran these commands: And central admin finally accepted that there was a site collection in the content database and over the course of an hour or so the web application started working properly again (I’m guessing that this was caused by numerous time jobs). Did you check to make sure that you mounted the right db.
Can you have more than one content DB?
No, You cant have one site collections in more than one content DB. Yes, you can use the RBS to increase the database storage. If your site collection grow beyond the 200GB (i am guessing you hreach 200GB not 4Tb) limit, i would highly recommend that perform the cleanup operation on the site collection and delete the unwanted stuff.
Why is my content database still in SQL Server?
Ok, I assume that you have removed the Content Database from the Web application but that is still existing in the SQL Server. You can attach the Content Database using stsadm and perform the IISReset afterwards: It’s possible the reason is because the version numbers for your FARM 1 SQL DB is different from the one on FARM 2.
