Upgrading VirtualHardwareVersionNotSupportedFault's....
I'v been waiting for 2 hours now, but server doesnt seem to do anything, so I think the process is stopped/hanged.
Any suggestion?
Did you ever get your VC upgraded? I am having the same issue.
be patient, get some coffee. that's a huge DB Schema change. For us going from 2.0.2 to 2.5.0U2 it took a little over an hour. Check with you DBA to see if there is activity on the DB instance.
I am going from 2.5 to 2.5 U4 and it has been running over an hour and I am starting to get concerned. So even with all those failure messages yours finally did finish?
yes, U4 requires a DB schmema upgrade as well. Did you find out from your DBA if there is any activity on the instance? All I can say is be patient and hopefully it finishes. Did you take a backup of the DB before you started?
I have a few backups but I do not think I should have keep the option to preserve events and tasks. O well gues I will wait and see what happens. I am still waiting on the DBA to come back to me.
crazy a$$ thing sat at the failure screen for over 3 hours so I got tired and did a CTRL-C and that killed the dialog box and now the installation is moving forward. Not sure what it did or didn't do but at least the progress bar is moving now. BTW, the DBA stated SQL was idle during that whole process. Looks like everything is good. It finally finished.
Yeah, I had the same concern when moving from 2.5 U3 to 2.5 U4. I waited about 45 mins before it completed. My DB is about 17GB. I guess all I can say as well, is be patient.
