• A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

  Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
  I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

  * Some info first.*

  CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
  Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

  * Questions.*

  1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

  3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
  If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

  > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
  The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

  > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
  But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

• Questions about the upgrade to the 4.0 unit

  Hi all

  I have a few questions before the server upgrade to 4.0 to 3.1.3 and install a new Server 4.0. We currently have 7 servers unit all current 3.1.3 running with digital networks. We are planning to upgrade a Server 4.0 and install a new server with 4.0 costs. This is the beginning of the upgrade of the entire company and my questions are the following:

  1 will update the AD schema during the installation/upgrade to 4.0 problems with the 3.1.3 other servers?

  2 since there isn't that one account of the unit currently with the 3.1.3 configuration, creating 4 new accounts unit cause any problem or should I / can I use the current to the unityadmin the unit account or one of the other 3 new accounts? I would like to start over again with 4 new accounts and not use the current service account and migrate to new accounts during the upgrade other servers.

  3. is there a problem to have 3.1.3 servers running jointly with 4.0 servers in general?

  My impression is that this is very well that I would no problem to start the 3.1.3 servers alongside with 4.0 servers, there should be no problem to use new accounts of the unit and this update of the AD schema should not be a problem for the old servers, but I want to make sure before doing the update/install.

  Oh, it's all run with Exchange 2000.

  Thanks for your time!

  Keith

  (1) it is backward compatible

  (2) creation of 4 new accounts will be fine.

  (3) you can run 3.1 (x) alongside with 4.x

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?

   

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
   
  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
  Thank you very much!

• Questions about the upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1

  I posted the following to the thread in the forum of Vsphere upgrade, and in five days I got ZERO responses. Perhaps more here and even here is the wrong place to post things, or maybe I'm not questions easily answer. I'll post it here too, since it mainly Virtual Center, I think. Maybe someone can help me or tell me what is the problem with my announcement that allows to go unanswered. Here we go:

  I'm about to upgrade my little (1 4 host ESX and Virtual Center) environment vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  My database to the virtual Center lives on a separate SQL server 2008R2 server. My virtual Center Server is virtual, if that matters. I have upgraded my licenses and read the documentation, to try to formulate a plan that escapes enough causing any downtime for my virtual machines.

  I am designing a series of steps that are all pretty low, and such that each step does not harm anything, whereas if I have problems, I can take my time to solve. Then, when this step is stable, I can continue to the next step. I want to tell you what I have in mind, ask a question here and there and hope you can report errors that I make and answer my questions. The big picture is:

  1 Virtual Center update and give him a few days to show me any problem before doing anything else.

  2. upgrade to a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Convince me things are okay, before you do more.

  3. put to level the other three 4.1 ESX hosts. Make sure that everything is fine.

  4 create new LUNS, formatted with the new VMFS, move my VM to them and remove the old one.

  If there is nothing wrong with this basic plan, please let me know.

  More details and questions:

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  I would greatly appreciate all advice and attention that you may have.

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  If your environment is small you can run all these in one and ofcouse if you execute all these in a server you need more RAM... There is no limit.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  normally if you think only in terms of scalability, it is good to have separate these things... He is sure no questions evey thing won't work if you install it on the same server also.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? No, but talk about Client 5.1 Virtual Center 4.1

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  these steps are ok

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  BLI, or DRAC suites method what ever you... very well.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Installing esxi will not hurt of thing... to the old VMFS... It will ask to keep or to format the old vMFS... BUT I prefer to remove the cables... BECAUSE we are humans...

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  no need... . If the hardware is on the HCL, I mean the firmware/driver etc... for the esx is on the HCL, then no problem...

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  assign the new LUN and create VMFS and migrate... It'S her!

• I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

  I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available had merge to HDR & Panoramic photos. I can't find these. Where can I find them.

  It is unfortunate that Adobe has chosen to use the "update" in the notice inside LR 5. It is not an "update". It is an 'upgrade '. Thus, you pay if you want. Also as usual, Adobe directs clients to the CC solution and makes it hard to find perpetual license option.

• Question of the optimizer V9.2-> upgrade 11.2

  Well I spent time this formatting and it cleaning to get an error when I tried to post it I hope it comes out ok.

  Solaris 10

  Versions of Oracle 9.2.0.6 and 11.2.0.3

  In the middle to test an upgrade of a system 9.2.0.6 SAP 11.2.0.3 for production updated in September.

  We had teams of application test various SAP transactions before and after the upgrade and save the time of transaction. Fortunately, we have a sandbox environment which is still in 9.2.0.4 so that we can easily test it side by side with an improved test environment. A specific transaction in SAP takes 30-60 seconds on the 11.2 system while it is running in 2 to 5 seconds on 9.2.0.4.

  Most of the time in v11 is dedicated to this query that is executed 1000 times, as evidenced by a trace of SAP on the transaction.

    SELECT "KUNNR" , "KUNN2"
      FROM "KNVP"
     WHERE "MANDT" = :A0 AND
           "KUNN2" IN ( :A1 , :A2 , :A3 , :A4 , :A5 ) AND
           "VKORG" = :A6 AND
           "VTWEG" = :A7 AND
           "SPART" = :A8 AND
           "PARVW" IN ( :A9 , :A10 , :A11 )
  
  
  

  The individual query is not slow, but when combined at runtime for 1000 executions is most of the runtime.

  I threw together a plsql anonymous loop which took place this 1000 times, such as the SAP transaction. This works in the environment of V9 it runs in some secondes.2 with no change in the V11 environment it runs in about 60 seconds.

  Just trying to get some information I did an autotrace in versions 9 and 11.

  The difference lies in the number of becomes coherent while the plan was that the same so started to play in the V11 environment, try to get it down to

  the same number of consistent gets as V9.

  It turns out that this seems to be something to change in the optimizer between versions 10.1 and 10.2. I could define optimizer_features_enabled in my session and change the behavior of the query. Do some research on google/support I hit on a quick comment by J. Lewis in this forum who could change the inlist 10.2 optimization. I also found various parameters that would change the behaviour that I did a few tests with them.

  The rest of the present is now in version 11 and comes from the loop of PL/SQL which I ran the query 1000 times with.

  There are various options to deal with this included two hidden settings _optimizer_better_inlist_costing and _optim_peek_user_binds, both with an initial test that the application run as expected. Before setting either of those that we would have to do more testing and verification with support etc. So I hope a possible different difficulty perhaps in the way that we collect statistics or anything of the sort.

  Is there something in the stats to look out for which could contribute to this?

  Default statistics collection was 'for all columns size 1'. I played with various other options with no luck yet.

  Our test is not finished, but we are a little worried that this could be a more general than just a query question since we have several transactions that show some runtimes longer 11.2

  I have not sent/posted these traces because working with taken in charge, I think he found the problem and have implemented a workaround solution. Fortunately, so far, it's only this one request that we found with this behavior.

  This seems to be caused by the fix for bug 4600710 - improve INLISTs costs in some cases (Doc ID 4600710.8). This query does not fit the description exactly but it it closes. index has 3 columns A, B, C with A and C is not selective but B is selective and C is used in a list.

  We now have a few options at our disposal to deal with this request and other pop up.

  (1) turn off the fix_control for this bug fix.

  (2) manually, to lower the distinct values for column B which will use all 3 columns.

  (3) use the advice, first_row (1), off _optimizer_better_inlist_costing etc..

  (4) creates a new index on C, B and use a reference database to ensure that it is used.

  We'll go with option 4 at this stage. It was the less risky option to affect the rest of the environment.

  Thanks for your help.

• Most bang for the buck upgrade question

  Hi all.  I am currently using VMWare Workstation for Windows v6.x and have noticed that when I have three open tiles, my machine seems a little slow.  Current specifications are:

  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

  RAM: 8 GB

  OS: Vista Ultimate (64-bit)

  OS disk: Velociraptor 150 GB

  VM disk: 1 GB Western Digital (all VMs are on this drive)

  SMV (RAM): SCO UNIX (512 MB), Windows XP Pro (2 GB), Windows XP Pro (1 GB)

  My question is the following, which would give me the best bang for my money:

  1. Upgrade to a Q9550.

  2. Allocate more RAM for the virtual machines (I currently use about 6GB with all the tiles running and what Vista takes on the host)

  3. Build a new machine with an i7 processor.

  4. Move virtual machines to a single Velociraptor.

  5. Move virtual machines to a RAID0 array (using two drives of 1 GB / 7200 RPM).  I know THAT RAID-0 has no redudancy; I would be back up critical files to an external drive of 1 GB.

  On these machines, I do some scripting/small database unix (SCO VM) and especially the word processor (several documents) / some work with audio products/editing Adobe (WinXP VMs).

  Thank you, in advance, for your input.

  I would like to start with more and faster for the VM disks.

• "Rolling upgrade" method is applicable to the single instance of database?

  Hello
  
  I did a google search, but all the documents I found refer to the deployment of upgrade for JRC and DG Environment. Rolling upgrade can be used to upgrade, say Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.5? Or in general, the method "rolling upgrade" applicable to database specific environments? If Yes, could someone post a URL? I want to learn this in order to minimize downtime for upgrades of database.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I KNOW, rolling upgrade applies only to CARS or DG scenarios. It does not apply to single autonomous databases.

• A Question during the upgrade...

  I thought to upgrade database to 8.1.7.4 to 11.2.0.2, the thing is if someone had very low system and the requirements of the OS, if they wanted to upgrade to another version, other than the path of update that is mentioned in metalink, who can run in their demand for now.
  
  For example,.
  the real upgrade path is.
  
  8.1.7.4 = > 10.2.0.4 = > 11.2.x
  
  What happens if we improve this way...
  
  8.1.7.4 = > 9.2.0.8 = > 11.2.0.2.0
  
  It will create problems... What are the problems that I will face?
  
  I do not know how to ask this question more perfectly, I hope that you guys understand my question... I'm sorry if this has been asked before... Please help me here... :-)

  Hello
  Yes you are right.

  Don't be confused with the different paths. In my understanding the upgrade guide shows the most simple/more short/possible path to upgrade. Note 730365.1 shows all possible combinations consisting of two versions upgrade.

  Thing about it: you started with 8.1.7.4, a few years later you upgrade to 9.2.0.2 (valid path in the 9.2 upgrade guide), then you the path to 9.2.0.8 a few months later. Yet once a few years later - now - "finally" upgraded you to 11.2.02. As 9.2.0.8-online 11.2.0.x is a valid path, you did exactly what you want.

  Hope that clarifies my ideas.

  Good luck
  Martin

  Can I go directly from the existing versions or what I need to do step upgrades?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can upgrade directly. The release notes says:

  For all SCCP firmware version firmware updates versions prior to version 8.3 (3) to Version 9.3 1 or

  later, you must upgrade your firmware of the phone to an intermediate version (8.3 (3) 8.5 (2)), then

  9.3 upgrade 1.

  In your case, you are already using 9.2(1S) and 8.5(3s)

  (2) can I change my Vista Home Basic to windows XP? I think it's much faster than this one. is it advisable?

  (3) I have a GB of RAM in the laptop. Increase the RAM? I think that my laptop has become to slow down. is it advisable?

  (4) and on my screen, everytime I try to change my profile screen to windows Classic view, my screen begins to blink. and after a while, the screen turns off. So I can't change that. I put the color scheme of windows vista only. What to do about that?

  Please help me friends. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Here, a few questions about the number:

  (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

  (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

  (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

• Question on the extension memory on the Satellite A80 117

  I have a question about the compatibility of memory.
  (The A8-117 is a Centrino 1.6 GHz (Pentuin M 730 processor) with Frontal 533 MHz bus and 2 MB of level 2, Intel® 915GM Express chipset)

  At the moment I have 1 chip of 512 MB (333 MHz, 2.5 CL) installed. I intend to switch to 1.5 or 2 GB. So what bothers me is: can I install a DDR2 533 MHz modules on this laptop (in this case the old 333 MHz one out)?
  Official website of Toshiba only 333 MHz DDR are provided, so that the 915GM express chipset allowes it.

  If it is not possible to 533, I guess I'll just buy 1 extra GB of 333 MHz DDR.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  At first, I want to say, which is always recommended to use RAM compatible and tested modules. On this way, you will be sure that it will work well and without any problems.

  According to the specifications of the laptop you can upgrade RAM to 2 GB max and compatible modules are: PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 2M 51) and 1024Mo PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G).

  You can use faster RAM modules, but for me it is really not necessary. The specification of the laptop is the 333 MHz bus speed and faster modules will be not useful for laptop runs faster. It is best to buy 2 x PA3313U-2M1G and you will have no problem and portable will runs much more quickly than before.

• Satellite P305D-S8900: CPU, RAM CIR upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a few questions about the upgrade of my laptop.

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU, and if so what other CPU is availible.

  (2) can I put the memmory.

  (3) is it possible to install the CIR in this computer.

  Hello

  First of all why do you want to upgrade the processor?
  The P300 series is new and is supported by a powerful CPU. You won't see any performance gain after upgrading the CPU.

  > 1) can I upgrade the processor, and if so what other CPU is availible. (1) can I upgrade the CPU, and if so what other CPU is availible.
  To do this, see this article from Toshiba
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  (> 2) can I put the memmory.
  This should be possible. In most cases, you can find the info in the user manual.
  I think that 4 GB should be possible

  (> 3) is possible to install the CIR in this computer.
  Using the infrared interface? In this case, I recommend stick USB Irda.
  It is easy to use and install.

• Questions on the Satellite Pro L650-167

  Hello

  I have a few questions on the Toshiba Satellite Pro L650-167 I'm about to buy. It is the model with an i5 430 m, 4 GB drr3 and ati 5650.

  (1) will be the laptop computer motherboard supports upgrading to a processor i7m as the 620 m for example? I find these on ebay for good prices. Also can you truly open mobile phones L series to replace the processor? You can for example of dell. I know that my warranty will be cancelled. Finally all the i series cpu is all 35w so do not supply problems?

  (2) can easily exchange you the hard disk of the L series, or is it not available?

  Thank you very much!

  Here is my review for you:

  1
  Update CPU is not supported and I don t think that everyone here will be able to provide some specific information on this subject. Any laptop can be opened and removed so it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's reasonable the decision is another matter. If you need laptop with more power than pay a little more money and buy cell phone more powerful, but don t change anything and have it with full warranty time.

  Generally the design on most Toshiba laptops is the same and access the HARD disk is not complicated. All you have to do is to remove the HARD drive cover placed at the bottom. Then you can remove the original HARD drive and possibly improve with a new.
