• Hardware upgrade of 4 servers windows 2003 7

  I just upgraded my Commvault software to version 9, with de-DUP.

  I read on the hardware upgrade to version 7.

  I have 14 VM to upgrade all the 2003 win. All have the latest tool installed 4.1

  Is there a there has been has I should look for before I start to put it off?

  before upgrade you the virtual hardware, you must upgrade the comment of VMware tools.  In an engine, the customer is off State, you can upgrade the virtual hardware.  From there on, turn on the prompt, login, let windows find all new device drivers and then restart again.  Here you connect and remove all devices shaded in Device Manager... Usually, restart us once more after that.

  With regard to the witch hunt.  If you are concerned, you can always snapshot the prior comments to the upgrade and if there are problems, return back.

• HP Pavilion dv 6000: hardware upgrade for hp pavilion dv 6000

  I have an old hp pavilion dv 6000, I recently upgraded to windows 7 and everything works well, but I would like to make the hardware upgrades as well.

  I want to move to maximum capacity, specifically: processor, graphics card, hard drive, and wireless network card.

  If someone can provide me with a list of known compatible with my system hardware would be great, I'll also be open to any suggestion of additional hardware upgrade if someone propose

  Hello

  Two things, you will not be able to upgrade: display the card and wireless network card.

  (a) graphics card: we cannot spend more than 90% of laptops, including yours,

  (b) wireless network adapter: your machine was built before the mid-2014, the whitelist prevents you to upgrade the wireless card.

  Now, you have 2 items to upgrade (maybe 3): hard drive and the processor (CPU) (and maybe RAM)

  (a) HARD drive: any 2.5 "HDD or even SSDS with 9.5 mm or less. SSD is more expensive but faster. HHD, please select the one that has RPM faster (7200 RPM), large cache (more is better). They are numerous on the following list including SSD:

• Satellite Pro C660-2I - hardware upgrade

  Hey there, I was wondering if it is possible to update the graphics card, sound card and processor on this laptop? Please tell me you need to know

  Mobile units are no built like desktop computers and these updates is not possible. Hardware upgrade on laptops is very limited and can be done with the RAM and HARD drive.

  If you need machine with more performance is upgraded RAM up and implement faster SSD HARD drive or you need to buy the new laptop.

• Tecra S3: hardware upgrade - CPU, RAM, HARD drive

  Hello

  I just got a laptop from my company and it's 2 a bit slow for what I do, so please advise me on a hardware upgrade or point me in the right direction to ask this question.

  My Tecra is S3 model PTS30E - 01P01CG3 Y5120397H series, it is about three years old and I would like to upgrade:

  1 - CPU Intel Pentium M1.86 gHz, I can replace it with a dual core or core 2 duo of?
  The motherboard does it take? What is the most powerful CPU it can use?

  2-ram memory is 1 GB and I want to place as much as possible. 2 GB is the best that I can place?
  Can you recommend a brand of RAM which would give exceptional results?

  3-disk HARD 80 GB comes, and I also want to know if I can replace it with a bigger?
  Than do options GB 120 GB, 160 GB, I have more? These HDD fit as the size in my laptop?

  4-If you have any other recommendation of dope performance, please let me know.

  I live in Romania, I'm not sure where can I make these upgrades. What is the nearest place?

  Thank you and have a nice day.

  Hello Florin

  Tecra S3 is old enough laptop model, and expect too much with upgrades, especially with the CPU. Of way General CPU cannot be upgraded and perhaps should not be upgraded. Each laptop model has a specific design and cooling modules are optimized for the specific hardware platform.

  1. so, for you it is important to have the laptop stable without damaging the hardware. Okay, just for the record
  Tecra S3 comes with separate Intel Mobile Pentium-M processors - [1.73GHz/1.86GHz/2.0AGHz (0.748-1.356V)/2.13GHz (0, 748 - 1.372V))]
  [/ 2.26 GHz (0, 748 - 1.404V)] and these processors operate at 533 MHz bus clock.
  Update CPU not is also not supported if forget it. The CPU you have inside is powerful enough. What you need is more RAM and perfectly configured and optimized operating system.

  2 RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and it is not the problem. You can use 2 x 1 GB RAM DDR2-400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G).
  This RAM is tested and works perfectly with your Tecra S3 of will be.

  3 disk HARD upgrade is also not problematic. Tecra S3 uses SATA HDD and you can improve it with more than 120 GB. I'm 100% sure that you can use 160 GB with no problems.
  In my opinion, that's good enough. Isn t it? ;)

  4. optimize the operating system. Disable all unnecessary background processes and your Tecra will be working perfectly.

  >.. .i don't know where I can make these upgrades.
  Do it alone. It is not so complicated. If you need help let us know.
  Good bye

• ESXi host and VM hardware upgrades

  Hi all

  I pretty well know the answer to these questions (I like to read manuals), but I just wanted a few reassuring those who have ventured in front me.

  1 / when the upgrade to ESXi hosts of 3.5 to 4.0, it is my understanding that there is no real emergency in the upgrade of the host of the virtual computer (tools and hardware to version 7) as vSphere 4.0 will run happily with the older virtual machine (but without the new features).  However, I am wondering if anyone has experienced problems do not upgrade the machine virtual shortly after the upgrade of the host.  My intention is to do it very shortly after, but sometimes the best-laid plans go out the window in my role, so I'd feel comfortable if I new I could run the old VM indefinitely without any problem.

  2 / how 'security' is upgraded version of the VM from 4 to 7 material?  VMware I don't expect any problems, but I would like to know if anyone has experienced problems that can cause interruptions of service extended to the VM guest.

  Thanks in advance,

  Steve.

  1. I would separate between VMware tools and hardware upgrade. New tools not only to upgrade virtual hardware drivers, they also inflating to update and other features VMware uses to communicate with the guest operating system. In my opinion, you should pass the VMware tools as soon as possible. I can't say for sure if you have any questions without upgrading. My personal opinion/experience, is that during the "normal" old tools will.

  The hardware upgrade should not too important. In environments with hundreds of guests, you will actually have to update all hosts (in a cluster) material in order not to lose the capacity of invited guests 3.5 vMotion.

  2. the only issues I've had so far with the upgrade of the hardware have been networked. I had a few VMs to reconfigure the network manually after the upgrade.

• Snapshot before resizing the guest OS system partition, it will allow me to roll back if problems arise?

  I currently have an ESXi Server vsphere 4.0 with Windows 2003 Server comments on that operating system. And just to be clear, this virtual machine is a control area on the network.

  The problem I have is that the system partition (C drive on the guest operating system) is running out of room. I have plenty of room in the data store where the virtual machine, so I added 30 GB drive under disk space commissioning in additional virtual machine settings page. The configuration type is thick. So everything seems to work great so far, I see this space as unallocated within the guest OS.

  After some research, I found several tools that help me to inresizing the system partition to take advantage of the additional disk space. Specifically, I intend to use the dell (ExtPart) DiskExt utility to resize the partition in order to reduce downtime. Apparently, this tool works without restarting the Windows machine.

  My question is, if I make a snapshot before you try to resize the partition of guest operating system, this would allow me to go back and cancel any potential damage that resizing of disk can cause? I understand that I expected to be able to undo a change such as this with a snapshot, I just want to be 100% sure.

  And no, I'm not trying to use a snapshot as a substitute for a backup. I do a snapshot to reduce downtime in case of a problem.

  Any information on this would be highly appreciated.

  I guess I over thought the process a little too, so I tested.  Works like a charm.  extended to the HDD via the vSphere Client, created a snapshot, ran extpart extend drive C:, delete the snapshot.  VM, although not a controller domain and just a test VM, is functional and happy.

• I must first install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

  I am replacing a graphic designer Windows Vista laptop with a desktop Dell Precision T5500 computer.  Should I Uninstall CS3 from the laptop and the serial number of decommissioned?  Then I have to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing CS5 upgrade?  I was told that I had to put the installation out of service, but I don't remember having to do with the other facilities.  Thanks in advance!

  Certainly, you should disable all software before uninstalling. But do not install CS3-CS5. Just having the serial number handy for checking. That said, according to the needs of the user, you can let CS3 available.

• Snapshot before a deletion O.S.?

  In my environment vSphere 5.0, I want to take a snapshot of a vm Windows 2008 E as a temporary backup. Then on Saturday, I want to start the vm W2008 E running to an iso of Windows 2008 R2, and then reinstall the operating system.

  Note: I have bypass the upgrade wizard and make an installation complete.

  In any case, I check with the pros here in case my plan is a miserable. Could restore the snapshot for Windows 2008 E if I couldn't have the applications of the R2 to work before the buzzer Monday rings? I used pictures in the past as insurance for the developers who bring changes to site or upgrade Visual Studio and things like that. But I've never used a snapshot in this way or that way. So I wanted to check before making that jump.

  Note 2: Unfortunately, I'm in an environment that has no backup. Also, I realize what I'm describing here is not recommended, but it's a long story.

  I read the documentation of shadow in the documentation for pubs.vmware.com, but I do not see my concern addressed directly.

  Thanks in advance,

  Rich

  Assuming that the VM has only default virtual disks (no RDM pass through and no independent virtual disk, which is excluded from the snapshots) a snapshot will preserve the current state of the virtual machine and you can return to this State at any time. However, where the new server will have the same name, you will need to re - join the "old" server to the domain after return to the snapshot, because the new facility will replace the computer account in the ad.

  In all cases, make sure you have enough free disk space on the data store and create the snapshot with the virtual computer off.

  I think that there is no necessary comments for Note 2!

• vMotion + hardware upgrade

  I read that in the documentation he recommends quick vMotioning the VM on the host before the upgrade. It is unclear, however, if you are able to vMotion back once the upgrade is complete. For example, if we put a crowd of 4.1 in maintenance mode and upgrade to 5.0, are we able to their VM vMotion from one host 4.1 to 5.0 host?

  After completing the upgrade of the host, so must we upgrade the virtual machine? When we completed our upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, one of the steps included upgrading the virtual hardware that requires a reboot. Is it also necessary when moving from 4.1 to 5.0? And a reboot required?

  Yes, you will be able to vmotion back - you can manage hosts ESXi 4 and 5 of ESXi with vCenter 5.x

  You don't need to do immediately, but once all the hosts are upgraded to 5.x, you should pass the VMs-

• Satellite 4090xcdt - Question about hardware upgrade?

  Hello!
  I want to upgrade the hardware in my old satellite 4090xcdt so I want to know what is possible.
  1. HARD drive: is there a maximum or something else?
  2 DVD: is it possible to replace the CD on a dvd player? How can I remove the cd player?
  3 CPU: is it possible to replace the CPU with a bit more recent? If so, how?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  This unit is an oldie. It s about 7 years and as far as I know it has been bundled with a 4 GB HARD drive.
  Unfortunately I put t believe that more HARD drive be recognized on this laptop.
  The series XCDT supports 4GB max and XDVD series supports hard drives 6 GB.
  Xdvd models were shipped with a DVD - rom drive and these models have been supported: SD-C2102 and SD-C2202
  In addition, it is not possible to upgrade the processor.

• A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hey,.

  I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

  I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

  Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

  (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

  Or

  (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

  I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

  But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

  So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

  It's my laptop;
  [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

  This laptop will do the job don't you think?
  Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

  I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
  It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

  What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
  I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

  So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

  I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

  Welcome them

• Re: Satellite L505-13W - hardware upgrade

  Hi all

  I specified model
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/discontinued-products/satellite-L505-13W/

  and I want to use the design program rhino3d v5.

  Minimum specifications of the program can be found here:
  http://www.simplyrhino.co.UK/rhinotraining/hardware.html

  The practical system minimum requirements are:

  Intel Core i5 Quad Core AMD 4400 equivalent or
  8 GB RAM
  500 GB HD
  Open GL graphics card
  Windows 7 64 bit

  Are there opportunities that I can upgrade my laptop to be able to use the program (ram, ssd, the graphics card)

  or is it a laptop?

  You can upgrade the RAM and HARD drive. Upgrading CPU is delicate and not supported by the laptop manufacturers. Graphics card can not be upgraded.

  Satellite L505-13W was equipped with an Intel Core i5 - 430 M 2.26 GHz (2 cores) processor
  You can also upgrade the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM and the HARD drive can be also updated to your preferred size.

  Minimum requirements of the system suggested practices are very similar to the laptop hardware specifications, and I think that after the upgrade of RAM, you should be able to run the application.
