Upgrade recommendations please

Aloha,

Currently I have a cluster four host sitting at ESX 3.5U4. Earlier in the year, I was about to upgrade to ESX4.0U1. Another project came and he had to wait. Now we fast forward until today and I can see the upgrade happening in the future near semi. But my, how things have changed! I now have a multitude of directions, I can go. I can go ESX 4.0U2, ESX 4.1 or ESXi 4.1.

I have very limited to the 4.x and ESXi times. No matter what I do, going to 4.x will be a big change. The question I have is the size of a leap to make? Y at - there a big difference between ESX 4.0U2 and ESX 4.1? It of time to bite the bullet ESXi - or would it be?

Mahalo,

Bill

Honestly, just talk about operation and reliability, there is no real differences between ESX 4.0U2 (or just ESX 4.0) and ESX 4.1.

If you use ESX 3.5, is perhaps best to upgrade your 4.1 ESX host directly.  As you say, if you can upgrade to ESX 4.1, upgrading to ESX 4.0U2 would be an unnecessary step.

In fact, I have some ESX/ESXi hosts on 4.0U1 version and I don't plan to upgrade to version 4.1 in the short term.  Not worth for me.

However, I have a few ESXi 3.5, and my intention is to upgrade to ESXi 4.1 directly.

Best wishes / Saludos

  • upgrade recommended CVI2013-> CVI2015

    Hello

    OR Update Service offers you the new CVI2015. There is a note that this "installation does not replace any other versions of LabWindows/CVI.

    I would like to replace my version of 2013 by the new (while keeping user settings as much as possible).

    What is the way recommended - first uninstall CVI2013? Or it uninstall after installing CVI2015?

    Thank you.

    So the bitter news, is that the Update Service cannot be used to upgrade CVI this way - it can only be used to install another version. Personally, I find that disappointing. OK, now I know and I hope that CVI users are notified.

    It is a machine for 8 years. Please note, new technology can come out every weeks or even days. You must update the motherboard, CPU, RAM, power supply, disk HARD and a few others and you won't get not the speed of the new machine to.

  • HP laptop laptop 15-f004wm: upgrading question please help!

    So can I switch the processor of this laptop for the i7 - 4790 k? If I can't do it without having to buy other parts could you please list the parts that I need? I also want to update the graphics card as well. Any suggestions? I want to be able to play WOW on ultra settings

    $1500 I am sorry to say that is probably pay a month of for a PFC. We could probably find you something a little less could do better with WOW but you just make a choice common but not good laptops. Although you can upgrade you go account than a Summit i7 costs line as $350 mobile processor, right?

    Not suggesting not buy you this but here's a cell phone used in the games good for no more than $550 who just needs a hard drive (another $60 or more). You need to think in terms of guerrilla tactics to buy a laptop computer game on what Uncle Sam pays you I'm afraid.

  • Changes did not survive the LR5 upgrade - advice please

    Hello

    After upgrading to LR5, I launched the application and updated the old LR4.4 catalogue.

    LR5 opened very well and ultimately the entire structure of directory/photos was there.

    However, all photos were in their original state as I imported them right. All the editing I'd done had disappeared.

    Opening of the LR4.4, the changes are there, but not with LR5.

    Can anyone offer advice how to transfer the changes to the database/catalog LR4.4 in LR5 thing please?

    Thank you

    I would not rely on sidecar or xmp to transfer metadata (including changes).

    I would try upgrading the LR4 catalog again. In LR5, file-> catalog to open.

  • Mac recommendation please

    I am looking for a replacement facility for my parents in their late 60s. they previously shared a very old macbook pro (15 ", I think), who conked a few weeks ago.

    my mother uses it mainly for browsing the web, candy crush, email, view photos, watch streaming of Korean dramas. My father use it for navigation, excel and word.

    I thought I had them the low-end imac 21 "(1, 6GHz, 1 to), but the comments I read slow performance make me reconsider." anyone with a similar use of the imac would say about its performance please? they do need a better machine, but I don't want them to be confronted with the spinning beach ball more often than necessary, especially on a new computer.

    I am also considering a macbook or macbook air or even the mac mini (but as I won't be there to help with all upwards, something that they can just plug and play may be more convenient.)

    Nothing wrong with the new iMacs. I have heard a lot about slow Mac here. But you can't judge what you read here. It's like a Hospital ER, for most of the people with problems to come here.

    They will use the aircraft mainly at home or on the road? I ask because for what you say they use for an iPad would probably be enough, and if they have a wi - fi connection, you could buy one without a cell phone.

  • CPU UPGRADE ADVICE PLEASE.

    Hi all

    I want to upgrade my current processor without having to change my motherboard.

    My HP desktop computer is model number: HP Pavilion a6332.uk.

    My motherboard is an Asus and according to the specification supports the following processor upgrades:

    Really, I don't see any advantage of upgradng to one that suits your motherboard support because there is only a 100 mhz bump.

    You will notice only this performance (decrease) in your bank account, not in your operating system.

  • How to kill 10 Windows upgrade? Please read the details before you answer!

    Normally I just will try to contact Microsoft directly about this. I don't care if it takes 2 weeks to reply to an email that I GET a response. But EACH link that says "Contact us" brings me right back to the main page of Community Office helps, it seems there is no chance whatsoever to get feedback from a real person from Microsoft...

    So here's my situation: I have two laptops. My only primary is more recent and therefore runs Windows 10. My portable secondary works in Windows 7. I want to KEEP my school laptop running Windows 7 for two reasons:

    1. My portable secondary is several years old. I do not if it is "technically compatible with Windows 10" because age alone means there will be some conflicts of hardware/software, if I were to upgrade the operating system. It's not worth updating this machine.
    2. Program compatibility. I have several programs use this work beautifully on Windows 7 but you are clumsy (if they even run at ALL) on Windows 10. Until such programs get the upgrades themselves, the ONLY way I can use them is on my Windows 7 laptop. So if I update the laptop more old I lose these programs.

    For this reason, I want to get rid of the annoying pop up telling me that I "need to upgrade to Windows 10 now" every time I turn on my secondary laptop. I have it? I want this program went pop up! Finished! Exterminated! Eliminated! Try to remove the program files has failed, because apparently I need fancy Microsoft permission to remove them. (A fool can accidentally delete vital BONES files when you are prompted to do so by a troll, but I can not intentionally remove a useless update command prompt!) So there does anyone know how to get rid of this nuisance?

    PS - If someone from Microsoft DOES happen to read this I have a suggestion for you: some people do not WANT your glorious new version of Windows has pushed down their throat then maybe consider to include an option to unsubscribe!

    It is a sure and very effective tool to stop Windows 10 upgrade notice.

  • upgraded version please help

    Hello community,

    In recent years I've got very slowly my head around PC builds. While I can change, the builds themselves have always seemed intimidating.

    It is time to move on, but I need help.

    I have to edit GH4 4 images of k that end up being about 3-5 minutes, sometimes more (for the delivery of 1080 p). There is usually some effects such as Colorista and convert applied Film.

    My current features:

    I7 - 3930K

    ASUS P9X79 Deluxe

    32GB G.Skill RipjawsZ 1600 MHz Ram (F3-12800CL10Q-32GBZL)

    NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2 GB graphics card

    C: OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB

    2x1To WD Caviar black (media and projects on that, previews, media and on the other hand, the export cache).

    Is the disk configuration and the graphics card the link (Tower/cooler side)? If I replace the graphics card and to update the disk configuration, is there something else I should be looking to upgrade?

    Thank you for helping,

    Bert

    A 4 GB card or 780TI of 770GTX would go a long way to help with this media. In addition, the rest of the features look ok.

  • A recommendation, please

    I am an old user of PS, dating back to 2.5 v, but I'm new to video. My intention is to film sequences, correct it in first and use it in the shows of my creation using Proshow Producer on the Web, combined with the stills. I think it's called Fusion and I like the idea a lot.

    I don't understand the terminology of specifications for the videos, especially the dimensions. For example, in the first, can we successfully combine images whose resolution is 640 x 480 pixels with images with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels?  If the answer is no, which is preferable, large or small numbers, and if it is necessary that all clips are the same, is there a non-destructive conversion mode?  The same question applies to the frames per second (fps).

    If there is a good book for novices autour, let me know, pretty please.

    Thank you

    For example, in the first, can we successfully combine images whose resolution is 640 x 480 pixels with images with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels?

    -------------

    You mentioned shooting images 1920 x 1080. combining with stills etc in a show using dreamweaver with fusion?... .quelquechose like that?

    First set you up a project! The project has specifications (predefined settings or you set your own custom settings).

    Say you shoot 1920 x 1080 progressive at 24 fps. You project would (normally) 1920 x 1080 24 p.  Your images fit into this space very well. If you put images 640 x 480 in this chronology, they look tiny.  This is why I suggested that you use photoshop to make a new file at 1920 x 1080 and paste a 640 x 480 image in it... only then you would see what it would look like.  I don't know if that's what you thought, it was funny?

    Keep in mind also, 1920 x 1080 is 640 x 480, 16:9 format is not.  Yet once again, looking at the sample file in photoshop, you can see.

    Now you can do a number of things to handle what you want to do with your show, depending on what you want to do and your assets.  For example, you can do your progressive project 640 x 480 24 fps for your images (they will fill the editing frame... your screen). Then when you put images 1920 x 1080 in project calendar that they look very BIG and you'll notice that it's cropped.  If you are a photoshop file is 640 x 480 and stick a file 1920 x 1080, you will see how much is cropped.  You can use the effect/motion/scale on the fooage from 1920 x 1080 to scale down and adapt to the screen... but because of the aspect ratio, you won't see the image unless you create black bars. In photoshop if you use ' transform what "on the big picture glued to reduce under 640 x 480, you have created... you will see what I mean.

    I know not what your other programs made to your files to make a picture to display and my suspicion is that if you do what I suggest in what precedes, 'create photoshop files to see what I mean'... .you will get a better idea at the outset what you deal with in first... so you can plan ahead and do something close to what you watched pre... what you really want.

    Good luck
