Hardware requirements for upgrading to OS X 10.4

We have an iMac running OS X 10.2.8 and we wish to upgrade to OS X 10.4. The machine is running standalone at home. We do not have any firewire device. Can we still do the upgrade?

Hi Again wendy!
Here is some additional info.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.8 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The disc should look exactly like the image in the above links.

  • Hardware requirement for running exchange 2010 on vmware workstation

    Dear Team,I need to create a exchange 2010 sp2 on a guest os on vmware workstation.kindly help me out with the physical hardware requirements for a home user

    Hey Mukund26,
    Before I answer your questions, my suggestion would be for you to figure out exactly what you want to get out of running that Exchange lab.  Are you trying to learn Exchange features like DAGs?  Are you trying to learn about virtualizing Exchange?  When you figure that out you'll be better able to answer question 1 since you may not need all of those virtual machines.
    Here are my thoughts on your questions.
    1) It is probably technically possible to run 10 virtual machines on the configuration you have but you're going to have pretty bad performance. I would try to trim that down to only the virutal machines that you really need in order to use the lab how you want to use it.  Here are some questions that may help you figure out what you need:
    Why do you need two domain controllers?  I don't think you need to worry as much about redundancy in your lab. 
    Why do you need 2 ESXi hosts and a vCenter?  What purpose do they serve in this configuration?  Are you trying to run the Exchange VMs nested under the ESXi VMs?  If so, why?
    Is there a reason why you want to separate out HTS/CAS from MBX in your lab?   Combining all roles together can reduce the number of VMs you need.  If you separate out the roles you'll need to allocate a lot of RAM to support all of those Exchange VMs.
    2)  Running a lot of virtual machines on a single 1TB SATA disk, especially a 5400 RPM disk, is going to be slow.  It'll be especially painful when the VMs are booting up, rebooting, shutting down, etc..  Try to stagger the power on operations so they don't all boot at once.  For example, first boot your DCs, then boot your HTS/CAS, then your MBX, etc.   There is no doubt that configuration will be slow, so if you can get your hands on an solid state drive with enough space you'll have significantly better performance.  For the purposes of a lab, though, it is probably ok if you can be patient.
    3) I think the i5 processor will be just fine for this lab.  Usually in a lab setting CPU performance isn't the most important thing so similar to above as long as you can be a little patient I think that CPU will suit you just fine.
    As I said figure out what you want to get out of the lab and then you can determine how many VMs you need and whether or not you want to upgrade hardware.  If you're looking to learn about Exchange 2010 in general I would suggest using multirole servers, getting rid of one of the DCs, and not worrying about virtualizing ESX/vCenter so that you can learn.  If you're looking to learn about virtualizing Exchange 2010 on vSphere then let's figure out exactly what you want to get out of it and figure out what you can learn using VMware Workstation and what you really need vSphere for.
    Best of luck!

  • Hardware requirements for OS10.6

    I  am currently on version OS 10.5.8. What are my  Mac hardware requirements to upgrade to OS 10.6 ?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Hardware Requirements for a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

    Hi,
    I have a secondary office with 10 users with a domain controller that has reached its end of life.  We like to upgrade the current hardware to serve as a domain controller and potentially as an onsite file server that will sync with head office during
    off peak business hours.
    Any recommendations for a low cost yet reliable hardware for the above solution ?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    I think you need to meet the requirement for upgrading to windows server 2012r2.

  • Hardware Requirements for a SCCM 2012 CAS with SQL Server Remote

    The hardware requirements for a CAS server with SQL Server Enterprise locally installed are:
    16 cores (Intel Xeon L5520 or comparable CPU)
    64 GB of RAM
    1.5 TB of disk space for the operating system, Configuration Manager, SQL Server, and all database files.
    Does anyone know what the hardware requirements are if SQL Server Enterprise is remote from the CAS server?  It's not listed.  -Shane

    Even though I am going to be strung up for even saying this, I do agree there is a use for a CAS outside of 100,000 users.  If you do indeed have distinct admins managing their own images and apps in remote
    locations then I see the benefit of a CAS.  A remote ConfigMgr console connecting to a primary site would perform poorly.  Admin A at the primary site would not experience any issues but Admin B would be in for a lot of work and waiting.  Any
    time Admin B needed to add an app or image it would have to be copied up to the remote primary site and then distributed back down.  This is not the best scenario.
    There are scenarios in company merger situations (and others I am sure) where the management of both locations has not been consolidated down to one location yet and is not going to be done as part of the deployment or upgrade.  If you had a 2007 environment
    it is going to be very hard to convince the admin at the remote location that this upgrade is going to be a good thing for him/her.  There is an option for the remote admin to RDP into a server in the primary site but the image and apps still need
    to be distributed down to the remote location.  During testing this can be very time consuming. 
    I do agree that adding a CAS adds additional complexity but in some cases such as the one I described it is the right decision. 
    Thank you for the reply. And i totally agree that in some cases a design like that is a necessary evil (but not by our personal wants). 
    We had that design with 2007 (implemented before my time), and as you predicted EU admins complained about difficulty using the console RDP-ed into a box close to the primary site. The bandwidth to and from different regions is out of scope for me so I do what
    I can with what I have. We too will be moving forward with a CAS hierarchy. 
    Administratively the other IT depts in other regions operate on their own. I dont handle any of the EU computers on a day to day basis whatsoever, etc. We're not merging but our IT shops operate with near independence. 

  • Hardware requirements for os x v10.7 lion?

    what are the hardware requirements for installing os x 10.7 lion?
    I have an intel core2 duo imac (late 2006) 2ghz-MA590LL running os x 10.6.8 snow leopard.
    I've seen that this imac model cannot be upgraded to mavericks or yosemite, but I was hoping it may accept lion?
    I've looked thru a lot of system specs etc for lion installation, but it never mentions the (late 2006) problem as does mavericks.
    can anyone confirm that lion will install on this imac? also not sure where to get it, or if apple has this download avail still?
    thanks.

    1. It will if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM.

  • Hardware requirements for Sun - Solaris

    I am getting ready for a massive upgrade from 9i to 10g. I was wondering what are the hardware requirements for the management server for 10g..it will be monitoring 30 other servers with 9i / 8i / and 10g databases.

    The referenced document refers to two methods of accomplishing the upgrade. One is to use the upgrade utility and the other is to manually execute the upgrade scripts. There is, however, a third way that is much easier and that gives you immediate access to all of the new features of the 10g database.
    Both of the methods described in the document, which you should read no matter what you do, perform all of the upgrade changes to the existing database. This is why you cannot go directly from 7.3.4 to 10g. The scripts that are behind the process just will not run successfully in a 7.3.4 database. As a result, you would have to upgrade to 8.0.6 and then to 10g. This is the "supported" path, but you do not have to follow this path to achieve a successful upgrade.
    The third upgrade scenario is to create a new 10g database using scripts that you have written that utilize all of the various new features that you would like to use such as locally managed tablespaces and undo management. Once this has been created and tuned up a bit, you would perform an export/import to get your application's code and data from the old database to the new.
    In our enterprise, we have over 450 databases, and we just could not afford to take the time to follow the "supported" path. It would have taken too long, and we had only a few days to convert 272 of these with more time for the rest. As a result, we built our own create scripts for the new databases, ran those in advance of our worldwide deployment date, and then we used the export and import tools to move our application code and data. This was a lot easier than the "official" method, and it works.
    The advantage to this approach is that it is straightforward and does not involve Oracle's upgrade tools which many have had problems using. The disadvantage is that you really have to know what you are doing. If you are not an experienced DBA, you may not have the wherewithal to successfully execute this method.
    Kind regards,

    Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.3) System Requirements
    Oracle WebLogic Server supports a number of platforms including:
    – Linux
    – Sun Solaris
    – HP-UX
    – Windows 2000, 2003 Server, XP
    • Processor:
    – At least one 1 GHz CPU is recommended.
    – Intel and UNIX processors are supported.
    • Hard disk drive:
    – A full installation requires approximately 2 GB of disk space.
    – The Linux value for file descriptors must be 4096 or greater.
    – Samples are optional (download from OTN).
    • Memory:
    – A minimum of 2 GB RAM is recommended for WebLogic
    Server.
    – Consider the number of simultaneous users and sessions.
    – Consider in-memory programs, such as Coherence.
    System Requirements
    The following are some of the basic system requirements for Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3:
    • The Oracle WebLogic Server installer requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run.
    Oracle WebLogic Server is certified with JDK6.0. As part of the installation, it gives the option
    to install the JRockit JDK 6.0 version. As part of postinstallation, prefix the bin directory of
    the JDK to the PATH environment variable.
    • The Oracle WebLogic Server installer requires a temporary location in which to unpack the
    files. Typically, the installer requires approximately 2.5 times the amount of temporary space
    that is required by the installed files.
    Note: In this release of WebLogic Server, users can choose which components of WebLogic Server
    they use. Specifically, this release allows users to choose whether the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB),
    Java Message Service (JMS), and J2CA services are started when WebLogic Server is started. The
    benefit of excluding some services is reduced memory footprint and reduced startup time.
