Try and limit the hosting server to just hosted services. We have 1,000s and 1,000s of hosted services with no referenced services. You can then shift everything else onto another server or split it further into business themes or service types (e.g. image server). You can also disable the ability to upload data directly to the server if you want - you cannot do this with hosting. ... View more

If your requirement for resiliency is that significant then I would suggest making your design as simple as possible. I am guessing you do not have Portal in the mix as you are specifically talking about ArcGIS Server. You should have multiple distinct ArcGIS Server sites with independent storage tiers, authentication/access mechanisms, load balancers etc. You would then roll out a new service to each site independently of each other. Your backup and restore mechanism could then be within the storage and virtual machine tier. This is a long-winded way of saying that your uptime requirement is quite extreme and so your system design should be as simple as possible to support it using well-known fundamental processes such as storage backups or VM restores. ...

Double check your firewall policies and whether they restrict traffic to specific executables. The upgrade may have changed your pathing and now that endpoint cannot be found/listened to.   I would also be looking at any underlying errors at the OS tier when you do an ArcGIS Server reboot. Something fundamental such as federation failing likely has a fundamental cause. ... View more

Where is the data located that the service is using with respect to the ArcGIS Server? It is common for a change to occur or other element (e.g. stale session) during the healthy uptime of the service. Once that service automatically recycles overnight it can then fall into a failed state as it cannot reach the data anymore. If the issue is regular and consistent then that suggests some sort of automated operation occurring in the back end. For example, a database clean up that kills all sessions older than 3 days. If your services recycle every 7 days then this would become a problem. ... View more

I would suggest that all eGDB backups should be handled by standard SQL Server backup procedures of which there are many options to choose from. SQL Server will provide more resilient and better functionality than what Esri can provide within the SDE layer. ... View more

@MaggieBusek can you link to the documentation that outlines how to configure this? Cheers. ... View more

Although definitely not recommended, there is nothing stopping you from finding the esrilogo.png and replacing it with your own. It would be great to have this option through the GUI though. ... View more

I have rendered tens of millions of vertices from multi-part polygons in a hosted feature layer without too many issues (bit of performance lag). Most browsers have settings that can bump up memory allocation. You might also want to look into any complex font or dictionary styles you are using. ... View more
