cold vsphere 4.1 - should migration take how long?

Hello!

We begin the process of upgrading our hosts and components vSphere 4.1 to 5.5.  We have to increase the RAM on the hosts and therefore need to move some virtual machines between hosts.

Some of these virtual machines have no VM Tools installed, so they must be cold migrated.  Stop, migrate, restart, rinse and repeat.

I'll do some tests, but my previous experience on it's a little blurry.  Let's not storage, just the virtual machine.  I remember this will only take a couple minutes to complete.

What is your experience with this kind of cold migration how long does?

Thanks in advance!

  • Should chkdsk /r - take how long?

    I have a laptop with Vista on it only recently began to receive a discharge physics blue screen often.  I learned to run a chkdsk/r that I do and it seems to be stuck on step 5.  How long can take?  He has worked for more than 12 hours.

    It depends on the corruption of the hard disk, the number of bad sectors, etc.

    What is the exact message that you see on the screen? Nothing to do with bad sectors, etc.?

    Effect, restart the computer and reschedule the chkdsk and monitor as to how long the process takes.

    If there are too many bad sectors, might as well be the time to buy a new hard drive and start over.

  • Virtual disk migration takes too long

    Hi, I am in the process of migration of virtual disks to another data store and the process is extremely slow. After 1 hour, the progress bar indicates 20%. At this rate, it will take several hours to complete the task.  I'm migrating three virtual disks (all thin provisioned) to one NFS data store to another. Sizes are:

    100 GB

    300 GB

    15 GB

    It would be the size fully provisioned. Actual usage is much less, as the discs have approximately 75% of free space, except fot the disc of 15 GB that has about 3 GB of free.

    I use the function of migration in VCenter to do this, right-click the virtual machine, and then choose "migrate", then change the store data, then advanced, and then selecting the new data store so that three virtual disks I want to migrate, leaving any other set to the "place of current residence.

    I do this with the virtual machine power off and with the configuration file and disk 1 swap partition remaining in the same data store.

    Any ideas on why it would take so long or how to speed it up?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Any ideas on why it would take so long or how to speed it up?

    What is your speed of NFS storage network? The faster the faster Migration

    In addition, the time is calculated on the full size which is 475 GB, even if only 200 GB may represent real data.

    Because it is thin and put into service, what you'll see is running slow copy while it is copying data for example the first 50% but then there after the advanced bar will move to 100% very fast because as it is no real data to copy, just space put into service.

    Therefore it will not be a case of 1 hour = 20%, or a total of 5 hours to do the migration complete

    I will estimate that it will take between 2.5 to 3 hours (calculated estimate)

    Hope all that makes sense

  • How Long should it take to transfer data to the new iPhone

    I had a capacity of 32GB iPhone 5 c that I had used about 30 GB of.  Got a new 6 iPhone with a capacity of 64 GB and after a few false starts, I am now transfer data from the old phone to the new by using iTunes.  However, it was 'Step 5 of 5' sync of Apps for more than an hour.  Should it really take this long?  When can I give up and try another thing... and I want to try?

    Thanks in advance

    I had a similar problem when my 5-a new 6 s using the iTunes backup, and I think that the problem is with the thinning app. This will affect you, because if you updated apps on your iPhone 5 c, this would not have been be transferred to iTunes. iTunes is trying to install older versions of your applications with more recent data on your phone, and that is the cause of being stuck in this step. You have to update all your apps in iTunes and then sync your iPhone.

  • Is time to edit CP CPVC files... - this normal or how long should it take...?

    Hello

    Well, I know it maybe is like asking how long is a string of the piece, but are there others out there who use CPVC (demo video), is it supposed to take a long time to editing, or is this just the nature of the beat in CPVC compared to standard auto capture demo...

    Everything seems to take an age when editing video in CP...

    Others feel the same way?

    See you soon

    Sabine

    A video edition takes much more time, even when you want to synchronize the audio with the video. It is one of the great advantages of the classical approach to Captivate that uses static slides, much easier to manage and edit/synchronize.

    But if you want better quality, pure film, PVC - c can be great. In this way, it is more like Camtasia, which has many fans and of course more features. I use cpvc when I want to post it on YouTube, or small video clips created with it to be inserted into a regular cptx file (you can insert a vintage cpvc-slide 7 or record such a slide of in cptx), to show the movements, drawing and other actions that are really not visible in the right direction with the old FMR slides (even when you put the 32-bit quality it is not the same quality as the static slides).

  • How long should windows updates take after 5 months of Vista?

    I have Windows Vista on a Toshiba laptop. A few days ago, I noticed that the last successful update was on 11/06/12. Then I ran windows update manually, but was getting an error that says "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. "So I restarted my computer and went and it was OK, the service was not working. So I started manually. This allowed me to get updates. I clicked on install, and it said installation of updates. Its been almost 3 hours. In the Task Manager it shows the window updates running and in services, it shows the service running windows update. I'm just curious to know how long to him given has not updated for 5 months? Assistance or direction would be useful and appreciated. Thank you.  Herb

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    It's really weird that Windows has not been updated for 5 months. The time depends on the updates required for Windows, drivers as well as other Microsoft software, apart from the speed of internet connection. This is why the time cannot be guessed.

    Kindly updated Windows from time to time for peaceful work of the PC.

  • System Restore Windows 8 has been restoring for almost 2 hours. How long should it take?

    New windows machine 8. Installed AVG anti-virus requiring a reboot. It wouldn't restart. Kept giving me the dpc_watchdog... error. (more & on & above) So I chose to do a system restore to last Friday. I saw him start & I left the room for a while.  He has been restoring for almost 2 hours now. I noticed the "finalizing" file restore less than an hour ago. Is this normal? I have to do something else?

    Hi Marcia,

    I understand that the system restore takes a long time to restore your computer.

    System restore usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the data has changed since the date of the restoration up to the date where the restoration is underway.
    If the computer is blocked, do a hard reset. Press the power button for about 10 seconds. Once the computer shuts down, stop and try again and follow the steps.

    Follow the steps mentioned below and perform a restore of the system from the Windows recovery environment. Check if it helps.

    (a) Insert the disc to install 8 Windows; Click on repair your system.
    (b) click the Advanced Boot Options.
    (c) click Start Windows settings.
    (d) If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    ((e) (f) If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on system restore.
    (f) click about to restore during which the system worked very well.
    (g) click on apply, click OK.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  • How long to migrate old Mac to new Mac?

    I'm migrating my old Mac to my new Mac. I'm in year of transfer stage information for 3 hours now. How long does take the migration?

    You ask a good question on migration data from an older Mac to a new. The answer, of course, is "it depends."

    Relevant issues-

    The amount of data is moved? More data takes more time for obvious reasons.

    How the two computers are connected? Wired Ethernet connections are generally faster than using a Wi - Fi connection.

    What is the speed of the network?

    That being said, I saw data transfers take more than 3 hours several times.

    Good luck.
