• Hardware upgrade of 4 servers windows 2003 7

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

  I noticed that my CF band is only changing to 100bm Brook.

  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.

  See the KB article how to properly uninstall the old drivers

• 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 VM hardware upgrade?

  Hello people,

  I read a lot of conflicting information around it, so thought I would ask here.

  We are going to be upgrade to vSphere 4.0 soon and of course will focus on the hardware upgrade of the virtual computer to version 7.

  Now, if I take a snapshot before you do the upgrade of HW and it goes pearshaped can I go back to the snapshot and the server will work?

  Or is it a one-way change, even with a snapshot in place?

  Same Xtravirt, which are usually about money, seems a bit confusing:

  ()http://xtravirt.com/do-i-upgrade-vmware-virtual-hardware-version-7( )

  They say:

  "When you upgrade virtual hardware version 3 to version 7, the upgrade is irreversible, even if you take a backup of virtual machine or a snapshot before you perform the upgrade.

  Then later in the same article:

  "using snapshots will give you the opportunity to come back if there is a problem."

  Thanks in advance.

  HW version 3 refers to the VM for instance ESX 2.x (see KB1003746 - versions of virtual machine hardware)

  I never upgraded to this version, so I can't say whether this is true or not. However, it is possible to return to a HW version 4 improved virtual computer. VUM proposes explicitly to take a snapshot before upgrading hardware.

• 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.

  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:

• 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.
  Florin.

  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

• vCenter and SQL server Virtual Hardware Upgrade stuck

  vSphere 5.5

  I updated all my hardware vm to version 10. Everything went a lot except for vCenter and the VM of MSSQL. They both say the upgrade (successful), but I am unable to vmotion the vms anywhere because of the following error:

  A general error occurred:

  The destination host is not compatible with the version of the material to which the virtual machine is scheduled to be upgraded. In order to proceed with the operation, regular virtual computer compatibility update must be disabled.

  I did the following:

  -stop the two virtual machines

  -restart of the host

  -removed from the inventory of the host and added to another

  The following screenshot shows the message of success on both virtual machines, and it will not go a way. It is not present on any of my other virtual machines

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for sharing the update.

  Could he please check if below lines exist in the respective vmx files of virtual machine.

  virtualHW.scheduledUpgrade.state = 'done '.

  virtualHW.scheduledUpgrade.when = "safe".

  If so, power off of the respective virtual machine, make a backup of the vmx file and remove these lines from the active file, after which I am convinced that this issue should not be considered.

• VMware tools and host of virtual hardware upgrade process

  We currently have 8 guests esx4 we plan to upgrade to esxi5.  Our downtime window is relatively low.  We should have sufficient time to upgrade all hosts, but I'm not so sure that we will be able to get all the vm tools and equipment as well updated.  Is there a common question VMs on the older virtual hardware and vm versions tools until our next maintenance window?

  Or would it be best to try to get half of the hosts and all the computers upgraded this time and the other half next time?  We have not all hosts the value automatically vmotion machines so that they remain in place unless you have an accident.  In addition, in this scenario is any problem to launch half esx4 and the other half to esxi5?

  Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Is there a common question VMs on the older virtual hardware and vm versions tools until our next maintenance window?

  There is no problem.  Your guests will not be able to take advantage of some of the new features added with vHardware 8, but as they are upgraded they will be.

  http://www.VMware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vSphere-ESX-vCenter-Server-50-new-features.html

  y at - it no problem running esx4 half and half to esxi5

  No worries there, too.  The only thing that you must do is upgrade to VMFS5.  The bed and breakfast vSphere5 no cannot be able to see a LUN VMFS5, but everyone can see and use a LUN VMFS3

  Not much upgrade to make. You have the processor i7 - 720 M, which is I think the second best processor that will fit in your motherboard. It seems that you have 8 GB of RAM, which is the maximum. The only upgrade I think that may be possible and worth is to replace the hard drive with an SSD. Boot time and application launch time will be improved enormously, but things like the game or whatever it is UC will not help much.

  Your laptop is not very old, but just old enough for some really cool as recent developments USB 3.0 date back to front. A concert 256 SSD will cost $129 may be where a new laptop with very strong specifications will cost $800-1500.

  In order to give the best advice, I would need to know exactly what you're doing with your laptop and also what you think you can do 2-3 years. If you use it just for internet and e-mail, as well as office, I say make the SSD. If you want to play demanding games or editing videos or to compile the Code, I say, get a new laptop.

• 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-

• Hardware upgrade issues

  Hi all

  I will be upgrading my old VM from 4 to 7 soon.  I have improved the system of the front discs, but for a virtual machine with a secondary data disk, pass, too?  It takes more time to upgrade a 300 GB drive vs a 30 GB drive?

  Secondly, I have a limited maintenance window.  I was copying the files of the virtual machine, but it takes a lot of time depending on the size.  Is there a quick way to clone?  Have any of you just improved the original files of VM directly because of the time constraint?

  Thanks to you all.

  Update the virtual hardware takes about 5 seconds and the guest must be turned off.  Need to upgrade hard drives of the guest.  For a guest windows system after you turn on the prompt, connect to it and windows will go through its "new hardware found" process.  When finished, the system will ask a reboot.  Then log in and go to device manager, as described above and remove all peripheral grayed.

  That should do it.
