Speeding up the upgrade

i am upgrading from 4.7 enterprise to ecc6
we are using resource time minimized and it takes forever. I know there are a couple of parameters during the upgrade that canbe increased to speed up the upgrade. Is it the maximum number of batch processes this is currently set to 3 and the number of parallel table importers is set to 1.
Can these be increased to speed up the upgrade

If you use only one table importer, it will sequentially import all the export CDs, this will take a LONG time.
Depending on available hardware resources I usually use one R3load and one batch per CPU + one additional, so in an 8-way system I use 8 table importers and 9 batch processes. This is, however, database dependent, I know, that Oracle doesn´t support more than 3 R3loads during upgrade, other databases do (I really never understood the reason behind that logic).

So my upgrade went through, but my speed is the sa...

I'm around 250m from a small FTTC cabinet. On 40/10 I was on the full 38.72 profile for download for the past 6 months straight, and the full 10000 upload. My Huawei modem suggests that my max attainable rate is around 67Mbps, and my max upload is around 22Mbps. And the BT speed checker estimated my new speed at around 60Mbps. This led me to believe that upgrading was a good idea.
This morning I discovered that my downstream profile is still 38.72Mbps, but my upstream profile has jumped to 20,000. So the upgrade has gone through, but my downstream profile hasn't changed at all.
Is it worth performing a modem reset? My modem has been on for 6 months without a reboot, so would it be worth resetting to see if that jogs the IP profile up on the downstream? Or is there anything else I should try?

I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

HT1270 I own a MacBook Pro 13 inch [dec 2009] 4gb ram. I'm upgrading it to 8gb. Can I increase the speed of the ram from 1066 to 1333 Mhz..?.

Which is the best company and is it necessary to buy it from the Apple store.

Let's clear the air here between fact and fiction.
Brand of RAM has little if anything to do with its quality.
A reliable vendor is more important that brand of RAM.
Installing faster rated RAM than required for your computer doesn't result in a faster computer. The RAM still runs at the speed of the system's memory bus.
Installing slower rated RAM than required for your computer will make the computer run slower.
Using faster rated RAM is a tricky business. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not work. This may be due to other factors related to your computer's memory bus speed and clock speed as well as other characteristics of the RAM such as CAS Latency (CL.)
The reliable thing to do is use RAM that meets the specifications set for your computer. That information is found in either the user manual or the system specs.

Local lines upgraded but my speed stays the same

Hello, i'm currently on the Broadband option 3 (20meg unlimited), and when we took it out we were told that our lines would only support around 8mb but there was scheduled work in the pipeline that would give us a speed increase.
Now this work has completed and the website quotes a possible speed of 17mbps on our line, but my home hub still shows us as 8mb.
Can anyone explain the process to getting this changed? I've been happy with the service (especially as they were up front about the realistic speeds I would get) so that's not an issue, but if i'm paying for 20mb and It's in the ground...then that's what I want to see on my connection!

Hello,
Good news. We’ve upgraded our network in your area
Remember we let you know we were rolling out our faster broadband? We’ve now done it in your area. We always offer the fastest speed your line can take and now your broadband speed and connection should be faster and more stable than before.
You can find out more at www.bt.com/networkupgrade
We’re sorry if you lost your broadband and phone connections for a few minutes during the upgrade, but they should be working again now.
If you received that email then you don't normally have to agree another contract to get the upgrade - only if you want the upgrade in advance of it being made available to all on the exchange.
Depending on your distance from the exchange you could be upgraded to 21cn but not get any increase in speed. Check the modulation in your router and if 992.1 you have not been upgraded. 21Cn is 992.3 or 992.5

Firefox worked fine until upgraded to Windows 7 - would processor speed be the problem - everything else is fine.

I have Firefox 28 which worked fine when I had Windows XP. Upgraded to WIndows 7 (updated all my drivers, etc). Now Firefox has times when it will not respond. Have tried most suggested fixes I could find on here and on-line. Nothing fixes it. It worked fine before the upgrade. This may sound like a dumb question to computer savy people, but would the older dual core processor be having a problem now that I am running Windows 7? Everything works great on the computer except for Firefox and Internet Explorer. I download Google Chrome and so far have not had an issue when using it. I don't care for it and would like to go back to Firefox, but the fixes don't fix it. I have uninstalled and re-installed and disabled plug-ins and removed and added and updated plug-ins, ran various virus/spyware scans, reset, downgraded to an older version, upgraded again, and a ton of other fixes. I wish I could figure out what changed from Windows XP to Windows 7 that would affect both browsers.

I doubt that the processor is the problem here. It might be that something went wrong with your browsing profile during the operating system upgrade.
One thing you can try is to reset your profile: in the "Help" menu, there is an entry "Troubleshooting Information". Clicking on that takes you to a page containing technical information about your machine and browser configuration. Additionally, it has a "Reset Firefox" button in the upper-right corner. Clicking on that starts a process that allows you to create a new, clean profile that contains your browsing history and bookmarks, but does away with potentially-problematic settings in your profile. (Don't worry, your original profile will be left untouched and you can return to it later.)
In many cases, this process solves issues people have with their browser misbehaving, so I hope it works for you, too.

Whats the speed of the 100GB Hdd Option upgrade

Hello
Im looking getting a second mini & passing my one onto a pest "family member". The apple site had the option of a 100G hdd. What would the speed of this drive be.

"If the system were being used for video (as an example) then rotational speed of the drive is barely relevent to system performance as long as the drive is capable of sustaining the necessary data stream (a 4200rpm drive can typically manage 30fps DV)."
Maybe in iMovie, but ask any FCP user, and they will say 7200 makes all the difference in the world. I have only a 700 MHz processor, and that has nothing to do with whether or not I can capture and output video. However, if my drive has a bump in it, all **** breaks loose. The only time I ever wish for a faster processor is when I start a render... and then I go to bed.
But try scrubbing video on a 4200 RPM drive. Then try a 5400, then a 7200, the a couple of 7200s in a RAID. Then three, then four, then five...
Rotation speed makes a HUGE difference in video. Most of my time is spent editing, scrubbing, audio scanning and doing things that really work the drives. Bay 3 at work feels a heck of a lot slower to me than Bay 1 or 2. Bay 3 has two 7200 RPM drives in a RAID, and Bays 1 and 2 each have a set of 5 drives in a RAID. Yet Bay 3 has the fastest processor in our building.

Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?

Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS? After 2 full hours I have downloaded 240 MB!
I realize my Internet speed of 2.5 Mbit/sec is not blistering, but it is the fastest available to me at my rural location. It easily manages 8 to 10 GBs of material from other sites.
There are no other users on the system and no other downloads taking place. I am using a wired connection (not WiFi).
Any help would be appreciated.

I am using iTunes and as I pointed out in my query, I am using the fastest connection available to me.
From other sites a file of 1.31 GB would take me less than 40 minutes!

Speeding up the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet for ~19K mailboxes.

Greetings,
While this is partially a PowerShell scripting question, I am posting it in the Exchange 2010 forum because the issues I believe center around the Get-MailboxStatistics itself, and the speed of my scripts in Exchange 2010 (possibly
due to the additional overhead in remote PowerShelling).
In my Exchange 2010 system we have ~19,000 mailboxes spread accross multiple DAG nodes, and ever since we upgraded from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, gathering all of the mailboxes and then gathering their statistics takes almost
twice as long. For example a script that used to take ~45 minutes in Exchange 2007, takes about an hour and a ½.
The issue I am running into when clocking core aspects of a mailbox data gathering scripts is that the Get-MailboxStatistics seems to be taking an excessively long period of time, and I am hoping someone can help me figure out a
way to speed up the process.
For example this is a boiled down script I created, where I ripped out a ton of other things and just focused on the Get-Mailbox and Get-MailboxStatistics commands:
$BaseOU
=
"Customers"
# Capture the date and time in a variable using the "Fri 11/01/2010 6:00 AM" format.
$DateTime
=
Get-Date
-Format
"ddd MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt"
# Select a single domain controller to use for all the queries (to avoid mid AD replication inconsistencies)
from the environment variable LOGONSERVER - this ensures the variable will always be dynamically updated.
$DomainController
= ($Env:LogonServer).Substring(2)
# Set the loop count to 0 so it can be used to track the percentage of completion.
$LoopCount
= 0
# Start tracking the time this script takes to run.
$StopWatch1
=
New-Object
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
$StopWatch1.Start()
# Get the mailbox info for all IHS customer mailboxes.the storage limit is Prohibit send or mailbox disabled

# Write-Host "Stats for"$Mailbox.DisplayName"are Limit ="$MailboxStats.StorageLimitStatus"and Size ="$MailboxStats.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()"MB."
# Calculate the amount of time the script took to run and write the information to the screen.

Using the two stop clocks, I was able to see that the Get-Mailbox of all mailboxes took ~9 minutes. That isn’t lightning fast, but it isn’t unreasonable.
The issue comes in where the Foreach loop with the Get-MailboxStatistics took ~53 minutes, and I am sure some of the mailbox data was cached on the servers from my various tests so it would probably take even longer with a cold
run.
I did some digging around and I really couldn’t find anything on how to speed up the Get-MailboxStatistics, and the only thing I found was this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverpowershell/thread/9ceefddd-7a59-44ec-8fc0-8de244acb58b
However I am not clear on how moving the Get-MailboxStatistics into the Get-Mailbox syntax (which is odd to me in general) would speed things up if I still have to have a foreach loop to process the data a little bit and add the
users to a datatable. That discussion also made think the foreach loop itself is slowing things down but unclear as to how/why if that is true.
Can someone help share some ideas on how to speed up this process? I think there are some other things I could try but I can’t think of them.
Thank you in advance.

I think it's impossible to speed up the Get-MailboxStatistics when it is being called for each and every mailbox individually.
I read somewhere in other posts people were having better performance by calling the cmdlet against an entire database or server so I gave it a shot with this code:
$DAGS = "EXCHDAG1"
# Start tracking the time this script takes to run.
$StopWatch = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
$StopWatch.Start()
$MailboxStatistics = New-Object System.Data.DataTable “MailboxStatistics”
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("TotalitemSize",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("ItemCount",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("LastLogonTime",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("LastLogoffTime",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.Columns.Add("MailboxGUID",[String]) | Out-Null
$MailboxStatistics.PrimaryKey = $MailboxStatistics.Columns["MailboxGUID"]
ForEach ($DAGServer in (Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup $DAGS).Servers) {
ForEach ($MailboxStats in (Get-MailboxStatistics -Server $DAGServer.Name | Where {$_.DisconnectDate -eq $Null})) {
$NewMBXStatsDTRow = $MailboxStatistics.NewRow()
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.TotalitemSize = $MailboxStats.TotalItemSize
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.ItemCount = $MailboxStats.ItemCount
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.LastLogonTime = $MailboxStats.LastLogonTime
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.LastLogoffTime = $MailboxStats.LastLogoffTime
$NewMBXStatsDTRow.MailboxGUID = $MailboxStats.MailboxGuid.ToString()
$MailboxStatistics.Rows.Add($NewMBXStatsDTRow)
$StopWatch.Stop()
$ElapsedTime = $StopWatch.Elapsed
Write-Host "The script took" $ElapsedTime.Hours "hours," $ElapsedTime.Minutes "minutes, and" $ElapsedTime.Seconds `
"seconds to run."
Here are the results in speed:
The script took 0 hours, 3 minutes, and 13 seconds to run.
So yeah... ~3 minutes versus ~1 hour, I would say that's an improvement.
Now I will go back to my script and as I process each mailbox I will pull it's statistics information out of the DataTable using its GUID with:
If ($MailboxStats = $MailboxStatistics.Rows.Find($Mailbox.MailboxGUID)) {
# Insert mailbox statistics processing here using the $MailboxStats variable with "." extensions.
} Else {
# Mailbox statistics weren't found so go grab them individually as a backup mechanism for scenarios when a user's mailbox got moved out of the DAG to a non-DAG database for whatever reason.
It's a little silly that I have to extract the information out of each DAG server and put it in an in-memory table just to speed this process up, but clearly there is overhead with the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet and grabbing more mailboxes at once helps
negate this issue.
I'm going to mark my own response as an answer because I don't think anyone else is going to come up with something better than what I put together.

The upgrade hangs a lot of time in phase PARCONV_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2..

Hello!!:
I'm doing the CU&UC, as say the Guide, and now i'm upgrading my 46C MDMP system to Ecc6.0 nounicode (later i'm going to
do the unicode).
In the phases RUN_RADCUCNT_ALL, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2,....has been a lot of time.
In the Note OSS 558197 - upgrade hangs in PARCONV_UPG, XPRAS_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2, there is a solution
for a Oracle Database, but we have MSSQL2005 in a Windows Server.
In this moment in our DB we have applied as say the Note OSS 187493 - DB13 jobs 'Check table Consistency'
and 'Update statistics', and sometimes in the biggest tables we apply the Note OSS 771352 - Manual UPDATE STATISTICS
re-enables Disabled Automatic Stats
Can you help us? In this moment the upgrade downtime is 48 hours (and we haven't yet done some phases of the
upgrade)
Thanks an regards,
Alfredo.

Alfredo,
Here is the down and skinny on this - PARCONV_UPG can be addressed with ICNV (Incremental Table Conversion) which you can run during the 'Up' Time of the upgrade. Of course there are some limitations put on you when using this solution but it will help to reduce your down-time windows be pre-converting tables during up-time. Those tables that are not converted in ICNV will have to be converted during down-time during the PARCONV_UPG phase so I am pretty sure that your database is getting its (stuff here....) handed to it.
As a 'suggestion' and not a rule here (because it effects recovery of SQL Databases) you can look at using Bulk Logged or Simple Logged modes if your system is using Full-Logged mode to speed things up a bit (actually quite a bit if Full-Logged is enabled).
As for the SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2 - this is mostly going to be tp putting things in the system and some compiling - the speed of the Db and the processors play a big impact in this. You can watch the SLOG in the upgrade directory to check this out (look in your upgrade guide for Log Files during this phase to get their names and locations) to see if anything is hanging but I would probably expect not much is going on.
Overall you need to identify the bottleneck first - CPU, Memory, Db I/O, a number of things can contribute to your issues of slow upgrade time - as I would have to agree with SAP that there is nothing wrong with the Upgrade Process (except that you can take advantage of things like ICNV where possible - read the upgrade guide and hit the notes and help first!!). Everything else is going to be your setup and how it reacts to the different activities in the upgrade.
So check those out first - let us all know what you come up with and hopefully we can fix your problem directly and quickly.

Order status, is the upgrade wait always this long?

i upgraded my fios internet from 15/2 to 25/15 about a week ago. My order status date shows 9/28 and 75% complete. I'm wondering if it's possible to speed up this process or do i just wait untill 9/28 for the upgrade to take effect? Thanks in advance

Chances are that they are waiting for your billing cycle. End one month at one speed and start the next on the new speed. You could probably contact CS and see if they can change the date on the order, but I'd probably just wait and avoid any issues from contacting CS.

How do I upgrade from OS X processor version 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later. Is it worth the upgrade?

how do I upgrade from OS X processor version 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later? Is it worth the upgrade?

I have 5.8 on iMac, but it is not server version, it is a usual OS install. I would say, that the only thing there worth upgrading is adding more memory. You should also keep upgrading Firefox, OpenOffice etc. for comfortable work and avoid memory and resource-hungry or buggy applications (like Safari). I have recently used iMovie to work with video, and I never had problems with image editing there. I can compare to 6.8 on my MacBook - I cannot say there is something I missing on this iMac 5.8 which is present on 6.8.
In general, I am an old mac user, and I had experiences where OS upgrade speed up things, like going from 10.2 to 10.3, but I still recommend to make sure that you will get rid of the bugs while keeping functionality - notoriouse examples are Photoshop 7 that stopped working on new systems, Gimpshop (and underling gimp 2, though some cured it) and even some Finder features.

Does the upgraded MBA 11'' from 1.4Ghz to 1.6Ghz affect the battery life?

Im looking into buying 11'' MBA and i still cant deside if i should upgrade the CPU.
Surely i will upgrade the RAM to 4GB.
But Apple Store staff adviced me that if i upgrade CPU to 1.6Ghz it may reduce the battery life from promised 5hrs to around 4.5hrs... Is that true? Personally i think that is maybe not really true, cuz normally any OS have an option to control and set up a limit of the CPU performance and frequency speed in regards to manage the baterry life... it even can be adjusted either manually or automatically.. am i right? And actually if you dont use CPU intensive programs so it won't consume more power, right? And even in such case also you can set the limit of the CPU performance to save the battery...
So does the upgraded CPU affect the battery life or not ?
And another matter - will the upgraded CPU get overheating sometimes and will it be "throttled" to control overheating ? as i heard...

Higher GHz = More Power = Lower Battery Life
Personally i think that is maybe not really true, cuz normally any OS have an option to control and set up a limit of the CPU performance and frequency speed in regards to manage the baterry life...
And actually if you dont use CPU intensive programs so it won't consume more power, right? And even in such case also you can set the limit of the CPU performance to save the battery...
If that were true, then why pay the xtra $100 for 1.6 GHz???
So does the upgraded CPU affect the battery life or not ?
Yes

SLOW BROADBAND SPEED AFTER NETWORK UPGRADE IN MY ...

On 15 Dec 10 I received an email from BT Broadband saying " congratulations the BB Network has been upgraded in my area ( Woodley, Berkshire, Exchange) I was warned I would experience reduced BB speads for up to 10 days then would see improvement. Before the upgrade I was getting an average download speed of 3670kbps, after 10 days the download speed never rose above 1000 kbps. I contacted the BT Call Center in India who confirmed that there was an external problem with my BB and sent me a new BT Home Hub2. I set the new hub up on 6th Jan 2011, however there was no improvement in down or upload speed even over the following 10 days.
On 17 jan 2011 I contacted the Call centre in India again, and it was confirmed by them that the fault was with BT retail / wholesale servers. Also since the problem had been outstanding for so long they " escalated the fault to BT Wholesale, and also booked an ADSL Engineer to come to my home on Wed 3rd Feb ( am visit). I am not sure what he will be able to achieve if the fault is external.!
Since 17 Jan the Call Centre has telephoned me every day to ask if there has been any improvement in my BB speed ( sometimes they have phoned 3 times a day! ) I am impressed with the daily contact from them however they seem powerless to get BT Wholesale to action the fault despite the fact that the fault has been escalated in priority.
